In my 3 months or so of chasing my fault I only once came across where the Canbus wiring loom was the actual issue. I read of several instances where the cable was changed (at about £200 ) but failed to sort the issue.
Lucus sorted my issue, although I must say I was a bit sceptical at first - you don't expect a fault to exist where a "respectable" company says there is not a problem.

I have read of many cases where the DEM controller has "leaked water in" which has caused problems. In the USA someone (IPD?) sell a DEM protector to stop water ingress.

IIRC Lucus charges about £30 to check the DEM over, and the recon one I got was about £310. Took about 4 weeks, but I told him I was in no hurry though.

If you wasn't me to put a pressure switch in my AWD R to test it I'll be willing to do it, but a) can't be for about 2-3 weeks as I'm away from home and b) it needs to be mild - my old bones react badly to the cold and I'd have to work outside.

Feel free to use my name/car with Lucas - it might help you.

Cheers

Bob
