I've got indicator issues (constantly indicates left) and central locking issues (randomly unlocks itself).
I've replaced the IDM and checked out the wiring. Found afew dodgy looking earths which I've replaced and also removed some spurious wiring but I'm still having the issues. I've no access to diagnostic equipment but I've got to the point where I'm fairly confident it's the BCU that's at fault. I've removed it and inspected it but there's no sign of damage, damp or corrosion so I imagine it's a chip fault somewhere inside it.
I've found a place on the net (Turner Diagnostics) who offer a repair/exchange service which works out at about £170. Seems fairly reasonable considering there's no programming involved. Has anybody had experiences with this company?
The other option is to source a second hand working unit, and use the cash saved to put towards a nanocom/hawkeye so that I can program it in.
Any thoughts/advice on the best way to go?
