If you did a back up with Toaf of the original settings prior to enabling the DRL,s then all you need to do is to restore it from the backup, works 100%.
Always do a backup prior to doing anything with Toaf.

The file does work 100% ,I reset mine for the MOT.Also the double flash on the indicators baffled the examiner and put it down as an advisory.

Nice one Skeleboy

By the way the double flash should have been a fail, MOT rules state the flash rate must not exceed 60 per minute

is the double flash not only on the hazard, not the indication though????

Doesn't matter, the hazard warning lamps are governed by the same flash rate Pete

All

Thanks for your replies and Klarzy I am glad you found some amusement.

All sorted now and all lights fully functioning. For those that run into this in the future there are two ways out of it (I tried both this morning to make sure

)

1. Make sure you back up the cars software before you start. This will always put you back to factory settings if something happens. It will mean you dont have to go through Klarzys idea of TOAF. Restoring the back up worked a treat.
2.If you have not backed up then 1st question why not? But if this does happen the file Eric sent me worked a treat also restoring all the lights.

Hopefully this will help others in the future. If anyone wants the file then let me know and you can store it in the TOAF folder.

Im not going into the rights and wrongs of the software or my own personal thoughts as this post was not about that. It was about a technical issue that this wonderful site helped with and the remedy is now saved on here for others to use if you are in the same position.

Thanks all for your help it was appreciated
