Some advice please guys.
4200, 57 Reg, one of the last to be made.
Went for MoT end of October, needed new wheel bearing and took weeks to get it, due to poor communication between dealers and out of date stock lists.
Whilst waiting for bearing, battery went dead, despite me sending my CTEK trickle charger with the car as well known problem. New battery fitted, full reset done with code etc but car won't start. Never been an issue before in the 4-5 years I have had the car.
Car has now gone to FTECH for diagnosis. The 30amp fuse to ECU keeps blowing when trying to start. I am told, a new ECU may be needed. Sounds very expensive and it was fine when it went in!!!!!
Looks like this may have happened in past as the fuse was not original.
I have trawled the forum as best I can and found a similar issue with a 3200, but the thread never finished so not quite sure what outcome was.
Before this gets completely out of hand has anyone got any ideas, thoughts, solutions etc.
Would be much appreciated
Thanks
