    Despite what you may have been told all reprogramming of ECU's are detectable by your OPC meaning you'd end up in a whole world of trouble. Regards Popolou

    Yes you're quite right. It didn't hit till late. Regards Popolou

    Because i suspect being LED's they won't burn out. Besides, you'd have to visit your local RS Components store rather than the auto-shop. :D Regards Popolou

    Depends on which version you may have. The 3M PPF already comes with a clear coat so you needn't worry too much, while the Ventureshield PPF is without (but a better material IMHO). You can wash and wax either one with no problem but watch out for the treatment collecting on the edges. Use a toothpick to run down the length and it clears straight away. Also, don't use a power wash on them. You may either lift up the edges or score the material leaving obvious marking. Regards Popolou

    I'll take two of whatever you're having mate. Regards Popolou

    Well i would suggest that if you don't hear anything from that end when you activate the lock actuator then you're looking at a faulty unit. Otherwise, have you checked the fuses or do you know if something has got caught (such as a fabric) within the latch and locking mechanism? If the car has warranty, then a simple visit to the OPC should be enough to get you back up and running. Regards Popolou

    Can you hear the actuator firing or does it not even work when either of the opening buttons are pressed? Try pushing lightly down on the latch when opening via the buttons. There is an emergency cable but try to narrow down the issues first. Regards Popolou

    Thanks Popolou. How do I contact them? I am in the states? Well if the vehicle is still within the warranty, you can make a simple call to your nearest OPC and hand them the VIN number. From this they will decide from their records whether the fix is available. I've just had a look at my files and i think the TSB was refferenced W610. It was also a worksop campaign item meaning its not a recall in the traditional sense, but rather one that will only be carried out if the customer notices the underlying issues. Regards Popolou

    IIRC, there is a TSB on odd behaviour with homemade CD's. Can't recall if it applies to the PCM or not but a quick call to the OPC should confirm. Regards Popolou

    CD Text relates to a novelty feature that music CD's contain the details of the track on-disc negating the need to input album/track names each time. Its not connected to the MP3 system which itself uses a different system for displaying the name information. To get the track-specific information up on-screen it will depend on the interconnecting equipement you use. In this case with the Dension, i believe it will. Regards Popolou

    Slate is also a more expensive optional colour to spec than the more common Seal Grey. IMHO, its a nicer grey than Seal. Regards Popolou PS: Are you the Sman of P900 fame? Why would it cost more for another shade of grey? I didn't know there was another SMan; my quest for a unique nic has been foiled again. I am not the Sman you are referring to. Why is the Boxster cheaper than its hardtop counterpart? Just typical Porsche marketing. But Slate was among a select few colours that were markedly more expensive than the standard and regular optional colours. Regards Popolou

    I bought the DVD on the internet. Do I really have to go to my dealer ? Yes, and IIRC they will unfortunately charge you an arm and a leg for the upgrade disks making the whole thing very prohibitive. Its somewhat of an issue in the UK atm. Regards Popolou
  14. Popolou
    Er... is the function disabled? Shouldn't it normally be in the bottom left of the page? Regards Popolou
  15. Popolou
    Just throwing a suggestion, but could "TIME BLOCK RUNNING" mean a timeout that needs to clear before the update/flash could occur? Is it battery backed? Regards Popolou
  16. Popolou
    Nice tool. Came across a small error that may be of interest to him: - Body/Engine code - 2 - unknown coding, please report this error code (2-987) Regards Popolou

    A cursory glance on the rear-view mirror mount to the glass and a button on its' underside should be the best visual check. Regards Popolou
  18. Popolou
    Did you manage to take a snap of the front end too? Ever since i saw the pic (below) off the website, i was interested to know where all the gubbins for satnav, CD changer and fluids now go. Or, is this just a pic of car without the optional kit? :blink: Regards Popolou
  19. Popolou
    Impressive and very cool! Regards Popolou
  20. Popolou
    Likely it's in need for a re-gas. Regards Popolou
  21. Popolou
    It could be the valves in the backpipes. Have a peek underneath and you should see an actuating lever that controls the valve. You should see if it's siezed or not. Regards Popolou
