Thanks Mark, that's interesting. I don't think it's ever been mentioned before; I certainly wasn't aware of it!

It is why, after battling for 7 years with my range rover v8 02 model I gave up, only to find after all I needed was an expert with a t4 which I had no idea about.
Even stranger, when I lived in the USA we had lots of cars with electric seats, airbags. Windows. Auto dim lights ect and they never went wrong on mid 70's cars like the Cadillac Eldorado and Lincoln Town car, 75 and 78, chev el Camino, driven many thousands of miles and all ok. They must have been made better and t4s didn't exist then, so I am puzzled about this.
Ps I have brand new brakes all round fitted early this year, but just this week when Starting the car I get brake failure coming up on the IPK. Another anomaly. They are perfectly fine.

If you look at USA cars for the same period as the 75 then they do have
problems. Watch Yuotube South Main Auto, Eric O based in Avoca central NY State. Autel and Snapon make diagnostic testers amongst others
