I have a cable for My laptop, so does Paul, Tissy, and a few others, so it depends who you live closest to....
I'm in Basildon, if that helps.

What's the problem?

Cheers Mark, not sure what the issue is have 2 lights on now? SRS (pretty sure a sensor in the pass seat is faulty) and just the general Engine Warning light.... My gut say's it might be lamba sensor?

What's the besy way to do this? Can I use my laptop?

SRS is Air Bag I think....

Yep, a common fault on A-class is the sensor in the pass. seat that tells the car that a child seat is fitted turning the pass air bag off is prone to failiure...

It's the other main indicator I'm worried about.... Any chance of sort some time to pop around?

Cheers BB

Sorry mate, I promised my daughter that I'll pick her up from school at that time, she had a moan that I didn't pick her up today and hell knows no wrath like a woman's scorn!!

Will be about from 4pm-5 before I go to work
