Seems it is the ecu.
Only showed up 7 faults on the gizmo, slightly disappointing as I expected more.
One of the downsides to these high performance cars, is they constantly need tweaking.

Fixable?
A 2nd hand one is going on tomorrow, hopefully that will sort it.
Has started making a high pitched noise now, that seems to go when you put the brake on, poxy thing.
Worn pads warning?
is that the nitrous?

Well didn’t quite go to plan, pin code needed to reset cu, pretty big oil leak and wire coming through on both front tyres.
Hopefully all problems rectified tomorrow
I’m a cunt for letting the tyres get that bad
Easily done with an Astra though. There’s no tyre compound on the planet that can handle that kind of visceral power for more than a few seconds.

Are you sure the wire wasn’t snow chains?

Sadly not, makes sense of that high pitch noise I kept hearing though.
Sounds like the 2nd hand ecu has sorted it.

Did you go full foo with the nano hover chip you were talking about?

No, stopped at New tyres. I don’t usually get involved in peripheral stuff, but seems wire poking through is illegal.

Not sure how long the novelty will last, but being able to turn your engine off in tesco car park was fantastic.
