yes win 7 32bit Mike.. so Diagbox 7.02 , from Simon's link, on the netbook should allow me Lexia access to the C5 I have?

I will read up more in the next hour/day etc :)

I tried to corral the various Lexia install/troubleshooting threads into one but unfortunately it's a bit like herding cats, everyone wants to start their own thread for the same thing :lol:

my first Lex session ever,.., didn't have long, but got this from the car to start with., (with ignition on but engine not running)

anyone help with anything on the screen shots..

Car wont start when cold, and is harder to start when warm (weather) than it used to be..

yesterday morning out of desperation ,I did attach a jump lead to the glow plugs from Bat +...




Can someone confirm the lexia buttons, F9, F7 and the snowflake one?

how do you shut the lexia session down (not diagbox but the lexia bit)?

thanks :twisted: John

Your screenshot link doesn't work for me.

F9 is your "go back" button to navigate back a screen. On some pages it incorrectly says "press return to go back" or similar but its actually F9 you press to go back!

To shut a Lexia session down keep pressing F9 until you get to the initial screen then after one more press of F9 you will see an option at the bottom to press F5 to exit, after you press that you'll either see press F3 to confirm, or press F4 to not save the trace then F3 to exit after that.

F7 I'm not sure - I don't recall ever using that. If by snow flake you mean an asterisk symbol * with the down and left pointing arrow that button just does the same as the enter key - eg activating the currently selected/highlighted option.

I normally navigate using the keyboard - arrow keys to navigate up and down through options, enter to select or go forwards, F9 to cancel or go backwards and F5 to quit from the first screen.
