Temp sensor and fault codes logged by ECU assumed to be a faulty module π€
Dash lit up like a Christmas tree, engine still running without the key, bad control module like the scanner reads and was diagnosed as faulty by a previous garage or a costly assumption and mis diagnosis π€π€
Ignition off engine still running....switch not activating fuel cut off solanoid.... narrowed down to an incorrectly fitted bulb in rear lights backfeeding power to the ignition switch which is why engine stopped when lights switched off π
Power failure to control module, communication lost with abs esr traction control and hill assist..... main Body earthing point under headlight corroded and causing a short to ground for the module that feeds power to all the above functions
Temp gauge not working - bad sensor in cylinder head reading minus 40 when tested through live data
No main dealer computers needed or specialist recoding required, just good old fashioned trial and error/common sense
I do love a little challenge to keep it fresh πππ
Bank holiday Monday evening call out to an accidental key lockout problem, unfortunately they were the other side of the loading door protected by slam locks and there wasn't a spare set, unless your a key or an angle grinder it aint happening without a fight, they work!!

A few pics of the work so far on an ongoing restoration in between jobs,condemned original 2.5 fiat engine out which are hard to find these days and generally underpowered and unreliable ready for a transplant with a Much more bombproof accessable 1.9td xud engine that dominated most of the citroen/peugeot diesel range from the 80s-early 2000s which should be plenty of horses to pull this old snail compared to it's old original dead donkey ππ I do love a bit of a challenge to keep things interesting π
