Phil McFadden Diagnostic page ...
The old Diagnostics page that Phil McFadden ran has gone from the web, fortunately the WayBackMachine has preserved a copy which I have brought down to my pages available here;

Re: Digital Heater query

If the the thermostat as stuck fully open then normally you will find that the temperature stays quite low even after a good run (greater than 20 minutes say). However ...

Re: Cooked ECU
The diagrams for the ECU's were never completed, the boards became multi-layer and there were lots of versions released with no documentation as to changes available :-( The general wiring diagrams are still available in Flash format and there are still browsers available which will display them see ...
