it was actually while i was coming off my drive, but maybe something to do with flaky signals at the time yesDesertIslandBlue wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 6:15 pmI’ve had the e-call malfunction warning appear a number of times in a cellular dead spot near home. Maybe the cause of yours (especially if it was only once and fleeting)?
I just wanted to be a 'lucky one'
I worked in IT for nearly 40 years (punch cards, proper floppy disks etc) - enough to know most software updates are a bugger to install, but for some sadomasochistic reason we just have to do it, even when theres no real benefit... I suppose its the feeling of satisfaction like nothing else when you finally upgrade microsoft windows using 26 (hard) floppy disks, which has failed on disk 23 3 times previously, taking up 5 and a half hours of your time.
partly why I would like the ford garage to do it, and possibly partly why they seem a little reluctant to?
i do go on a bit dont i? sorry
to understand references to disks etc you may need to use some history books - or I hear that new fangled google is ok
