Glad to have helped mate.

When it happened to be, I could not work out what the f**k was going on. I sent it to two auto electricians and the first one just did the diagnostic test and said there was nothing wrong :twisted:

The second guy worked it out, now he is the only auto electrician I will go to.

Glad its all worked out.

Id say this problem is EF EL only mate, as the boxcars where a EEC4 and the EF EL are a EEC5 system.

I had a similar problem in my old eb xr6 but i caused it by removing the fuse for the dash and the auto went into limp mode...
