except for the agro of digging into the depths of the boot area, and having to lock all the doors by hand, and not being able to lock the tailgate

It seems to me the difference is, when you use VIDA to clear faults it comes up with that message, turn on, turn off, rev, do a little dance, make a little love get down tonight, which I've never really done. whereas the battery may be a proper complete reset?

I assume by 'set procedure' he meant having key in position 2 so the headlights coming on absorbs any jolts which could in theory damage the various modules? or something like that

Thanks for that had no idea there was a special procedure

I had the bcm repaired by a "specialist" the qbs warning light went, but anti skid didn't

what dose vida say the problem is? vida is not just a code reader it should help you narrow down the cause of the fault click on the icons that are showing faults and click advanced

BCM-0050 CONTROL MODULE FAULTY SIGNAL
BCM-0114 COMMUNICATION AYC SUGNAL MISSING SIGNAL
BCM-0116 COMMUNICATION AYC SENSOR COMMUNICATION PROBLEM
ECM-A02B COMMUNICATION CONTROL MODULE FOR ANTI-LOCK BRAKES FAULTY SIGNAL.

These are the current faults, but i think the abs ones will go as when i drive the light gies off, i usually check the codes before i start the car to go somewhere so abs fault would kind of be active if that make sense
