Good luck.
I went to see LostKiwi and basically theres nothing wrong with the software, its my Can Bus system that's at fault. The software workwd on his, at least bits of it did but they wern't the same bits as mine, we accessed his transmission no problem. Mine? Forget it.
Your welcome to come over if you wish but be prepared for dissapointment.
Older cars, pain in the
Both ECU testing and BBA reman wanted the same price, £225+VAT although my controller wasn't in either of there listings.
I spoke to BBA reman at some length, the reason they didn't list was because they had only ever seen two and only been able to fix one. This was basically telling me that they were, on the whole, very reliable.
Oh dear. Im to sorry to hear that but thanks for letting us know. I'll strike then off the approved list.Although BBA Reman used to have an excellent reputation, with their expansion the quality of their work seems to have taken a dip. Even though the initial telephone conversations gave me confidence, they have let me down and are not living up to their claims. I cannot recommend them.
After giving me their 'lifetime guarantee' on a rebuilt ABS unit, it had to go back to them more than once because it gave trouble. I have since asked for a refund as their work was faulty, and I am now in the process of putting them into court because - despite a variety of written promises - the refund is not forthcoming.
Thank you. They'll be getting a call tomorrow.Seem to remember these were recommended a while back....think it was Cole possibly

Andy, there are several valid part numbers for your VIN View attachment 37850 :
I suspect uncle Google may be speaking with forked tongue - the CLK320 is a 6 cylinder!
indeed there is, but i'll have to wait till this evening, but i will give it a try. it feels like transmission wind up, but obviously it can't be. Just as you slow to a halt, a knotty feel to the change down to first.I think there is an option in the Carsoft software to reset the adaptations. Give that a try.
I thought there would be - my Version 7.4 has it but wasn't sure about your version 12.indeed there is, but i'll have to wait till this evening, but i will give it a try. it feels like transmission wind up, but obviously it can't be.

Interesting, thank you very much.I thought there would be - my Version 7.4 has it but wasn't sure about your version 12.
I did on mine and it changed the behaviour of the box for the better - made it a lot smoother.
