Right peeps...... at last ive got the blasted mini going 
& its driving with no engine faults. Managed to re-code everything
abs/dsc/footwell module/fuel pump/ecu reset to factory/steering angles/throttle body ect ect bla bla bla bla bla....................
I think whats happened is the lad the cloned the ecu put the old faults into the new one. (who knows)

Tis a bit easier when you have the right equipment to do it, just a matter of going through the system & checking the function
of everything, then if something has a fault its a matter of testing it. My diagnostics has programming & special functions for
most vehicles up to 2021. Ive been leaving my phone in the house so I dont get distracted as you loose where you were.
Ive got another key to program I will give that a go when ive got the chance.

I dont thing id buy another one tbh, they drive really well the parts are cheap & they arent hard to work on. Might have just
been unlucky. My mate has a track car same model & it gets thrashed but its been reliable. ???

I get the feeling that, on the quiet, you are quite an electronic whizz. I take off my bunnet to you!Tis a bit easier when you have the right equipment to do it, just a matter of going through the system & checking the function

Is the bit the rev sensor is measuring connected to earth? Like iffits measuring the fly wherl spinning on a car. Is the metal body of the laith earthed? Figures jumping about like that reminds me of a situation where a sensor ain't reading a signal fast enuff. Like measuring a sine waveyer have to measure at twice the frequency of said wave as a minimum or yer figures bounce around..... well that was disappointing.
The Rev Counter for the lathe refuses to work correctly.
Most likely culprit was/is EMI causing the detected transducer pulses to get swamped so there was no clean signal.
I tried putting the whole transducer and its cable tail in a shielding braid earthed at one end but it has made no difference.
I have run out of ideas and the only remaining option appears to be to put the whole VFD inside a faraday cage/tin box.
This might work but as it needs to be air-cooled it may mean buying some perforated sheet to make a box from.
I wonder if shoving a biscuit tin over the VFD would be a good temporary test? Hmmmmm.......
Can yer rig up the sensor monitoring somefink else which is slower like a drill or food mixer? At lower speeds it may show reliable results. What type of sensor issit?

Anybody getting any snow? It was a possibility in the forecasts a few days ago. We've just got drizzle.
