When Matt went to see Harry after I'd given his ECM a clean bill of health, and the car was still not starting with his T4, and read the fault codes, I diagnosed the problem there and then.

The immobiliser was posted to me along with the ECM, I fitted a new security EEprom, and paired the two together.

This is as rare as it is possible to be in terms of fault, as I've experienced only one other fault identical to this in the past twelve years

Anyway, all is good and Harry is up and running
