Think you might be on your own, PSi3 are no longer. Are you sure the OBD2 socket/plug is getting a good connection?

Yeah seem to be mate,plug and socket are fully locating into each other,all the pins seem fine.I'm guessing something has gone inside the unit.If i unplug it then plug it back in a whole new set of numbers/letters come up

Happens all the time to mine. I have it dash mounted, so on hot days it doesn't work for a while, same as cold days.
Most of the time I unplug it for a few seconds, then plug it back in.

Also, road vibrations can sometime disconnect the internal plugs slighlty. By that I mean the plug that plugs into the PCB of the PSI3. Check thats in OK.

exactly the same as that, been thinking about remaking all the connections and seeing if that helps, at the moment I have the gauge pod mounted so i can take it off quickly and sort out the back of the monitor if it goes while i'm out

I had this - following some old threads traced it to some dodgy connections where the wires go into the terminal attached to the unit. I tightened up all the connections (grub screws) and alls been fine ever since. Its a rubbish explanation, but if you have a look you should see where I mean. Otherwise a great bit of kit
