Sounds like the Vectra, the wires come adrift in the connector under the seat if it's moved. VX do a fix kit but unless you are planning to take the seats out it's far better to cut the connectors off then solder and shrink tube the connections.

gave em a wiggle (technical term) but to no avail

do same, but looking at live data feed, see if resistance varies.


A cunning plan, now if only I was seeing someone with a tech 2 tomorrow  ::)

Cheapo tech2 around £20 - £30 from egay, BUT you need a laptop with a proper REAL com port (ie not usb-serial adapters, or port replicators).

I use a port replicator on my dell l400, works fine with the cheapo tech2  :y
