Just a quick update. My car was booked into the garage for the camshaft replacements this Monday. I left a message for the garage owner last Monday to say that I couldn't have the work done because I was still in discussion with my lender. I originally provided the lender with various options...

@E.C.Ewe thanks for the reply! I think that it will be dealt with by my legal representation. The lender seems to have gone AWOL. They can't even acknowledge my communications which in terms of UK law is all good for me!

Tried all options. Nothing will work!

Thanks.. I'm continually looking at the RT6 firmware update info. Absolutely nothing to point me in the right direction. Tried to install 2.8 and 2.86 using OEM cd and file downloads, different usb's 16gb and others and still no joy. I'm losing the will to live..
