So finally one of my three W169 starting developing an intermittent transmission fault with the dreaded Visit Workshop message being thrown up on the console. Although the fault can be cleared by switching off and restarting the car, it was causing an annoyance to me.
A Star diagnostic revealed the dreaded PRM fault as documented on the ECUTesting.com website. I decided to get Steve to drain the transmission and remove the transmission ECU so that I can send it off to ECUTesting.com for testing/repair.
Having sent it off on the Friday (1st May) before the Bank Holiday Monday, I received the transmission ECU back this morning all fixed. Mentioning Lofty's page got me a 10% (or was it 15% as the site said 10%, but ECUTesting told me it was 15% but the invoice said 10%) discount.
Very well packaged - very impressed. Will be heading back down to Steve on Friday to get this reinstalled and hopefully back on the road. Will also be getting Steve to retrofit the Linguatronic (voice activation) stalk to complement the NTG 2.5 sat nav. Will report back after
