Eureka!
Just finished building a PC out of junk for the Garage.....hooked up to FS, connected to the OBD2 port, ignition on.......and read the PCM Well chuffed as it's a home made loom and I didn't hit any problems.
File saved and copied (and put in fire safe just in case), made 1 change (deleted VATs), saved the changes, licensed the PCM, flashed the PCM, read the PCM and it took the flash.
You guys make this too easy for me
Time for a beer and maybe a little sleep before I attack in anger
