1. Is it theoretically possible for me to retrieve that info from the NCDC ?
2. Can I be trusted to perform this operation without seriously damaging something ? 
3. Are the described symptoms, likely to be caused by the unit previously being fitted to a different spec car, thus fixable via Tech2 ?
4. Are you still working not that far from the arse end of nowhere ?

Edit.Scrap most of that. Just seen reply no. 71.

Sorry, CI = Code Index.

Can't remember the exact method for finding it - it involves putting NCDC into diags mode by pressing MAIN for 6s. But can't remember which page the CI is on  .

I believe you need CI of 074, but will check once I have confirmed how to check without Tech2 - can you wait a few days until I can get to a car?


Sounds like CI is wrong, easily changed, but needs Tech2

If your not sure, I'm going nowhere fickin near it. 
Waiting a few days is no problem. Doesn't affect the driving, obviously. Just pissing me off, and would like to get it sorted at some point.
Thanks for your (and everyone elses) input so far, its much appreciated. I at least have hope that it isn't approaching oversized paperweight status.

Sticker on the rear of the CID has a lot of numbers and the letters KJ on it. Would that be the CI ?

Nope. CI is numerical

I thought it was Main and Info buttons together for a few seconds, then brings up the Menu, also from memory though.

Migv6 you cant do any damage to it, its all read only.

Must admit, Migv6 can be continually on standby for an accident to happen.

My son told my wife yesterday that she must insist on wrapping my head with bubble wrap before I go outside. I hurt or damage something every time I set foot outside the door. Went out yesterday to fit a new wiper stalk to my 190. Came back in 5 minutes later with blood pouring out of my head. Bent down and head butted a bracket on the steering column.
She is trying to ban me from ever using my recently purchased mig welder. Apparently the consequences just don't bear thinking about.

Aaaanyway, back on topic. Seller has just informed me it came from a 2.5 diesel auto, so that may well be the cause of the problems.
Id it can be sorted by tech2 then all well and good. 

Its all RobG,s fault. When he said it was plug & play, I believed him.

It is plug and play but I didn`t say it would play right did I

See, that's the trouble with folk from Brizzul.

Its MAIN for 6s.  But I can't remember which page the CI is on .

CLEAR for 6s resets the NCDC if its doing "weird things" (though invariably you need to pull it for a couple of hours if it is).
