I take it this was because I incorrectly wrote the FA back to the car ? I’m pretty sure I went through to step 10. In the which case should I have stopped at step 7, then completed the steps above in green to code from the locally stored file?

Therefore step 9 ‘write FA FP’ would have been the point I accidentally and permanently changed the factory config on the car...? i.e. the point above in red ?

Therefore the next time I would have read the FAlist SALAPA-element, it would still read 6NH, despite having EBT enabled?

Thanks for educating
I had the same problem after writing the FA to the car! Had to go down tk Coopers with my laptop to change it so they could update the car’s software!
