preferably before the pickled heads whoooops i mean eggs

Which model Malcolm? The old one?

What's wrong with it?

naaa Jim hunny

its the DIS LEXIA 3 which seems to me to never have worked properly since purchase,
even with itt being installed on a clean laptop and fresh installation of XP

it reads faults then dosent do anything when click on any of the faults listed as my DIS LEXIA 2 used to

You can compare it with others at the Rally and see if they do the same sort of things Malcolm.

I find mine is virtually perfect but even though, I still prefer my ELIT on the MK1 Xantias and XMs.

Seems to me the older the car the worse Lexia 3 is. The newer the better... My main observations is mine has great difficulty in reading Xantia Climate ECUs and locks up after doing a 4HP20 reinitialisation... It locks up somewhere else but I can't recall where now.

I do know on say a C5 and a Picasso it is absolutely as good as gold...

Oddly, it does a MK1.5 XM well but I have a sneaky suspicion it finds spurious faults in the Engine and ABS ECUs that the ELIT doesn't.

mine goes into things just as far on C5's and Pisssscasssooos as it does on the likes of XANT's

We had a go on my XM with the 30 pin connector and we could get into the detailed fault information on the faults that had it available. As far as I know, he didn't get around to trying it on a Xant.

as Kev said we used his XM as a guinea pig with the 30 pin plug, and it performed as it should,

whether this was something Kev had altered in the start up???? or not its all a mist-icl science to me

Malc, I'll have a gander at it when I come over on Thursday to fix my estate's electrics. I could have done a comparison with mine, if the laptop had not got roasted

, along with quite a few of the leads!

John, I should have another Lexia

soon, so I'll be a bit nearer, if you are still living on the borders.

Steering angle sensor fault? Radio aerial fault?

Those two are hard coded in at the factory, I reckon. Just like the cat, you boot them out and they come right back at you.

nah just want the crusie working and maybe somehow check the ride height is changing at speed..

also I have no sidelights, not sure lexia can help with that, but have not had time to check bulbs etc..
