Just need to find somebody ideally local to read SRS error.
It occurred after a flat battery.

Not paying£16 for a phone call!

No communication is normally a faulty ECU that is expensive so power supply and ground need to be checked first.

OK thanks. Can you recommend where to get it fixed. Am on Yorkshire coast.
Bridlington and no dealers here!

You do not need a dealer ring round your locals and ask if they have the software to programme they should have. I am in Preston so I do not know anyone in your area but finding a good tech is getting hard these days.

It is useless here. Nobody has yet been able to communicate with the SRS module. All other systems ok and can be read. Am going to Liverpool in a few weeks so could book into anywhere over by you if you can recommend.

I don't really when I had my workshop I didn't get involved with other garages and the chap that purchased my business is useless.
