And you're supposed to be tucked up in bed, so I wonder who has been thrashing it done the A55 ;)

Wasnt me!  I was a passenger to get a change of scenery, and we never hit the A55

Twistys out over the horseshow pass to Llangollen, then out the other side and back on the quick road.

And still no 19.


So must have been a fluke...

So I would recommend anyone who gets a 19 without other faults / issues to delete it if you have the ability and watch for a reoccurence before replacing it.

I've reset a couple for people who had 19s that didn't disappear after replacing sensor.

After my failure, maybe I play overly safe, but I would recommend changing the sensor on the first occurenece (rather than waiting for any symptoms, seeing as I had no real proper warning when mine failed), then clear it if it is still there.

can certainly see both sides....no smoke without fire etc.

in this case I think it is too early for a real failure and hope to be proved right, I suspect however a failure isnt a million miles away, will certainly be keeping a close eye on it  :y
