Always good to know the powerplant runs, even if the power plant needs work,

Nice work, always a relief to hear it run especially if work has been done on it, but...... We need proof

Cheers

Hi mate glad you hear you got it running. were the diagrams that dave made correct or did they need tweaking, just so we know for the good of all. I'm glad the module worked fine, it run fine on the sierra when i got it but it was out in the damp shed for quite a while guess it cant be that damp .
