  1. I have a feeling its the car that was on the next road to where I live. I've not seen it about since last year. If it is the same car it was sold buy the main dealer in Nottingham which was Willoughby's at Beeston. Again, if it's the same car it had had a new engine under warranty too!

    You did well to get your car money back.

    There is Paul666 on Scooby net selling his silver STi hatch which has had a full forge engine build with a great spec. Worth checking out!

  2. The last two years I did mine myself. Green then blue. Then tried orange . Messed up using graffiti aerosols paint. It softened up the previous years rattle can paint. My wife said she couldn't understand why I'd wasted Romany nights and a weekend doing myself when properly done was 55 a corner! I was spending 70 on paint doing myself too lol

  4. the point about if it wiggled about and then works, it's down to the connection, so check it's prongs and fitment.

     

    Hi Lee, I have just read through your thread on here, it would appear that there is a communication issue between the ecu and the CTS, Now judging by the fact that the ecu being moved the fault disappears indicates to me that there is a connection fault on the multi plug on he ecu or worst case scenario water ingression into the ecu plug.
     
    My advice would be to unplug the ecu from the passenger foot well and check the resistance's on the wiring which heads back to the CTS. if this checks out ok it would be advised to check the pin connections on both the plug and the ecu for good connectivity.   There are no known issues with ECU failures to press but that doesn't mean it cant happen. But going by what your dealer has said by moving the wires etc the fault goes its a connectivity issue rather than an ecu fault. 
     
    For information the ecu's were removed on the cars for reflashing so it could be that there has been either a wire broken/trapped etc or the pins misaligned causing future issues.
     
    I have no service manual to hand on this laptop so cant tell you wiring colours and pin numbers at present. I can check this back at the workshop on Monday.
     
    Hope this information assists.  Its back to basics really with the wiring and resistance checks and continuity to grounds
