We'll not being an internet warrior I suggest you get someone to drive it who has half a clue and then they can either
A - make some changes
B - do nothing

How you expect anyone to help you diagnose anything with the information provided is beyond me.

Rock up for a quick briefing then go and thrash it out on the track.

If there is 2 instructors they will sometime go with you to give you pointers, but the goal of the day is for you to get to learn the limits of your car at low/high speed situations.

They continue to jack prices up but it's still good value at the moment.

Problem Identified ( i think )

Dccd Pro set to open in auto mode, shows open under zero acceleration, but I noticed it was partial locking under heavy accel, switched to manual mode and saw the lock level was flickering between 40% and 30% with the knob in open setting. Confirmed that was happening with some tight circlies hand brake on vs off and felt the difference. It's the rotary knob that has failed, if I lean the knob on a different angle i can get it to go to stop flickering in manual and get to zero, then when I release pressure on the knob, it's shooting up to a base level of about 30 - 40%.

It matches what I though was a drivetrain caused fore / aft bounce anyway.

who knows what is happening in cornering under heavy steering and WOT, it could be flickering in and out as the car gets a small bounce..... now to try and fix it.

Now I'm getting somewhere, I don't even have to move the knob to change the setting, If I lean on the center console and push it sideways a few mm, it's changing the dccd setting...... the plot thickens.



problem is fixed, the beast is back !

if anyone's interested i suspect
1. the OEM green connector that dccdpro comes with ( used to come with ) had become either perfectly wedged under the DCCD adjust knob in such a way that 1 or more of the solder pots were poking into and touching, a different solder pot for the adjacent wire - hence I could only get about 40 - 100% lock.

or 2.

The green connector was somehow partially shorting out on something - it's been wrapped now and I can't replicate the fault so it was either 1 or 2 causing it. The difficult thing to analyse was that it may have only been occuring under side G loading when the center console twisted slighly and made the connection - because it wasn't doing it continuously and whenever I checked on the track it wasn't doing it.

I did the install, it's not like open wire, it's heat shrunk going into a wire terminal, somehow, the inside part of the terminal was shorting with something..... difficult to explain, imagine looking at an electrical connector and thinking, if i had tweezers, I could short this out, that's what it looked like.
