£1800+VAT I can get it done for. Considering this to be honest.... even if I sell afterwards

Alas, car is dead. New gearbox needed - best prices I can get for recon one is just over £2K. Also, seems to be a problem with fuel vapour valve (another few £100). MOT in 6 weeks and I know it needs a new wheel hub too (I've got that) and pretty sure rear brakes. Of course the worry then is the module is faulty also. Either way, it seems I can get close to £1000 scrap value so its not economically viable I dont think. (130k miles worth about £3500-£4000 I reckon).

Garage have decided they can't do it because they think its the control module now. Have had no choice but to take to dealer now. (My mate is service manager so I wont get ripped off and at least get a discount). Other than it'd be running around trying to find someone whos got the equipment to configure the module. Although, dealer has said filter and fluid change is in order first off which may solve problem (£320 though!)

Heres update - not sure I understand. Do they mean ECU? "The engineers is under to opinion that the car has an control unit fault and that is causing the problem as other data is normal. They are putting on a different test rig from the factory as we don’t have this equipment and can let you know by lunch time of the outcome."

Yeh had the fluid changed probably a year ago. Worse case - how much we looking for rebuild or replacement? One place has said to me £3500. :-(

Been making a noise for months. Last week started getting message "Transmission function limited". today it seemed to not change gear. By using the manual setting worked out that only gears 1,3, and 5 are working. Im guessing this is significant. :-( Bad news I'm guessing?

Compressor buggered.... Jeez. £500 fitted - seems a bit steep. Although I guess it all needs to be re-filled afterwards? Worth getting hold of 2nd hand one from scrapyard? Or are there too many different versions?

Took it to Halfords autocenter (yes I know but its close to work). They put it on machine and it showed ZERO. They are saying its empty. But I said it cant be because it works intermittently. They want me to bring back tomorrow so they can use nitrogen to test for leak. Tempted to let an air con specialist look at instead to be honest.

No. Displays says its on. And when I turn it on the engine does change slightly so I think its starting up ok.

Was working fine earlier today. Now its just blowing same temp air. Display says on but it makes no difference. Anything obvious to check?

Is this right that you have to change it twice in effect? Because 1st time its only possible to get half out then run the car and change again? Do garages do this (or even know)? Or not bother?

Two of them per side. The ones with star type head on each side of the headlight. Lost one of mine- need replacement

For about 2 years now I've had an "engine malfunction" error but no adverse affects. Now I've got this too. So far no adverse affects. Any ideas what it could be? Started whilst driving in snow last week....
