I plugged my laptop with TOAF into it, the only module it could talk to was the ABS unit - normally it connects to the car no problem.
Sorry I didn't notice this bit. Have you tried loaded a back up back onto the IPK from the automatic back up TOAF made from previous checks?

It has been throwing it down here since I posted last. Waiting for it to stop raining so I can go out and do the battery disconnect and unplug the seats |

The mileage store cannot be overwritten in the IPK LSM or EWS, so as a result of this the error stored in the IPK will be VIN mismatch with LSM. There will be nothing other than that error stored, and indeed it is stored on any car which has exceeded 186,500 miles as the mileage store is no longer updated on any vehicle that has covered in excess of 300,000 KM Where there is a problem is in the event a virgin or new IPK is fitted to a car as it is not possible to reconfigure this after the mileage store exceeds 60 miles or 100KM. So in answer, a second hand IPK can be fitted, the car can be driven, and the only anomaly will be "Err" displayed in the mileage trip, and the mileage store will not be updated in the LSM until the correct IPK is refitted Brian |

Several weeks later......
Sorry guys, been working on renovating the house for the last few months, so this car got put to one side when it's MOT ran out (I have another car so was in no hurry to fix this), only just been able to get back onto looking at it today. And, good news - it is now fixed (well the dashboard is!). Not sure what it was that fixed it, here's what happened.... I had the battery off a couple of weeks ago to charge it as it was completely flat after standing for all that time. Before I put the battery on, I disconnected the drivers seat. Connected battery and started engine (still has the slow starting issue). Dash problem still present. Took the dash apart and removed the binnacle, checked all the pins and connections, all looked fine. Put it back in, started engine. Dash problem still present. Swore a couple of times, then went and had a cup of tea. Went and got the spare binnacle from the shed. Plugged that in. Started engine... Hallelujah - it works. Feeling confident, removed the spare binnacle and put the original back in. Started engine.... and.... it still works!!!! Reconnected the seat. Started engine.... still works..... Put everything back together and checked it all over..... still works :-) So in summary, I have no idea what I did to fix it, but ultimately it is now fixed. For the record, the brake pad warning was also a symptom of whatever the problem was as it has gone now. I can only assume that temporarily connecting the spare binnacle and then immediately removing it "confused" the car somehow and reconnecting it cleared whatever the problem was, allowing the original binnacle to work as well. Next step is to weld up the hole I found underneath! and it can go for its MOT |
