Hi Simon

Funnily enough the tacho and temp display weren't working, however I've just connected TOAF, scanned the engine then cleared all DTC's and the car is back to normal.

The next challenge, of course, is to determine what caused the fault in the first place, and try to prevent it happening again.

It sounds as if there could be a potential problem in the CAN bus

Cheers

Paul
