Thanks for the reply.

I actually started taking apart the right hand side footwell looking for the lcm but it turned out to be in the passenger left hand side one.. they swaped it out on the rhd cars after all.

Anyhow, took the lcm out, opened it, and to my surprise, it has considerable water damage !! ask me how I know, looks exactly the same as my last laptop I fried by spiling a drink on it

So I'm pretty sure this needs replacing. Found a few used ones on ebay but I'm not sure if I will be able to code it to my car with the gear I have.

Anyone know if INPA or NSC expert can do it ?
