Howdy all, our delightful E2400 unit seems to have an electronic failure.

Innovative perhaps, but certainly not user frien...

I have to admit I have been very ignorant of my service book after being blasted by my local mechanic over not reading and taking your own responsibility for servicing. I have owned my vehicle for over 3 years with 110000 km now and have the engine oil and filter done every 10000 km even though the service...
