welshy_89 Member 131 Member For: 13y 10m 11d Posted 12/01/13 01:00 PM Share Posted 12/01/13 01:00 PM (edited) If u r going to flash the tcm from wat I've been told is if your going to flash the zf, do it when its cold and ensure u connect a jump pack or 12v source to your car as this can help to prevent failure... Ratter or a tuner can probably confirm this if true... But doing these to things and I haven't had a failure... Touch wood...Knowing my luck though next time ill feck it...
