Might have to give this one a miss :( gutted as I haven't missed one for a very long time.

My conservatory has been glazed today so I have to get the floor tiled, I have started today and it is likely to be an all weekend job for three of us!

If we get it all finished in time, we will be there, but I don't hold out much hope :(

Sorry I couldn't make it. Changing the thermostat yesterday ended up cripling most the electrics on my car. Due to disconnecting the battery, my electric windows stopped working properly, central locking failed to work properly, the air con and heating also stopped functioning properly. The worst of it is my radiator fan died. So today I ended up having to get my BCU and other ECUs reprogrammed. Thankfully all's well again and working as it should be.

Hopefully I'll be at the next one.

Rik.

How can disconnecting the battery cause all that trouble?

How can disconnecting the battery cause all that trouble?

It can happen on rare occasions, but it shouldn't. Many people talk about the front window switches controlling the wrong window, this is usually after they've had the battery off. It can cause corruption in the BCU. Some suggest that removing the battery too soon after switching off the ignition can do this. I must admit I removed the battery within 5 minutes of switching off the engine so I guess there may be some truth there.
