Dubdubz Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 Thought I'd start a quick separate thread... Going to Scotland on 27th - and wanted cruise working and showing the green light. Tried TWG - can't do it, tried Dovehouse and they can but not before mid August - @Paul P is an option but I wonder if there is anyone closer. Happy to pay of course and travel to you...might need to be a late afternoon so I can finish work> I'm in Peterborough. Yes I left it way too late... 🙂 Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should only take 15mins whilst you wait, it's not a whole day job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes just the instrument cluster bit and perhaps do/check the rest in Piwis and not my half ar*e foxwell coding… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 Are you driving up there with the car? If you are going up the A1, try to make an appointment with Revolution in Birstall for as you go past? Or other suitably placed indies? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinten Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 @TGI_J had his cruise control coded at Deutsch Tech in Milton Keynes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Hamilton Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 Happy to do it, but Peterboro is a bit of a trek for a 5 minute job. No charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubdubz Posted July 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 Well I had the absolute privilege of meeting Mr Hamilton in person who very kindly and expertly coded the cruise. And then helped enormously by coding out my CD-R as I’ve replaced it with a modern pioneer. So my cluster is now looking better too…and no codes! @Richard Hamilton thank you so very much for letting me pitch up on your drive and disturb your early evening. Absolute Legend. never has a little green light made someone so happy…. Cruise makes the 987.1 really nice on the motorways, wish I had done it sooner. plus I was getting 36mpg so it was 4hrs and 200miles well spent. 😊😊 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubdubz Posted July 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 I had an order in with Rose and my OPC for 12 months with nothing turning up on either of those - so I was looking at US ebay and getting it shipped - its a bit of a risk as its 2nd hand and you can get stung for tax if the sender is too honest 😉 I tend to get it shipped free in states to my pal and then he sends on to me ensuring that it doesnt mention its a $200 part and is for a porsche...
