Hello, All!
Out with the missus in her Disco II on Saturday and all of a sudden Three Chimes and the ABS, HDC and TCU lights all lit up. Tried clearing the buffer by disconnecting the battery, but to no avail.
She rang the garage this morning and they sent out their "man who can in a van", an auto electrician with more computers than you can shake a stick at. He was out there in the rain for nearly an hour, phoned his Head Office and although could find no faults went through the clearance procedure and he pronounced (fingers crossed) all was now OK.
He came in and we started chatting and I retold the tail of how I had noticed that one of the Brake Lamps was out when we'd stopped at the Bank earlier on Saturday. After an hours trip round the market we'd then got back in the car to go and buy a new bulb. The illuminations started as we parked later, a few minutes up the road.
Seems my chauffeur had neglected to tell him this. "That's what caused it" says the man "The Bake light failing fooled your computer"
Now I'm not an expert but I do think this is a bit far fetched. Was he right or was he "speaking with forked tongue"
With best regards, Not So Clever Trevor.
