Thanks for the info wheeler, that's what I thought but was told different by someone who should have known for sure.
AFAIK all C6's (except the 2.2's) should have the same config with the only changes being "comfort" additions e.g. Sat Nav, Lane departure etc. But I have a couple of other cars I can compare with.

Task for next weekend, change the pump electronics (or full pump), remove dash to send for repair and continue with recommissioning checks and tests. Hopefully the car will be ready for MOT in early May

I thought a quick update was in order and to express my thanks for the assistance.

I finally resorted to replacing the pump with one from one of my other cars that I was considering breaking for spares. Lots mess with LDS everywhere but all working again. I had a bit of panic when the system didn't seem to react to the up or down buttons or pressurise properly! Diagbox pressed in to action and came up with a rear static pressure senor fault. So, system de-pressurised again and a replacement sensor (left over from a one I broke a few years ago) fitted. A long nervous wait while the system pressurised properly and all is good.

The dash is out and ready to go for repair with the faulty BHI electronics unit to see if it can also be repaired. While they are away it's on with the rest of the recommissioning. The battery appears to be dying and the rear EGR is reporting a problem :shock:
I'm not looking forward to doing another one of those :rofl2:

But for now.... Thanks for the help.
