MalibuJack: I've emailed Colby, hopefully he can shed some light. Thanks for the help.
3gt: I've used a friends ODBII lead without any probs - it's not a USB one, just refular serial port. But I don't think there's anything wrong with the harness etc - i'm convinced it's the USB drivers playing up. Thanks for the help.
Please could someone tell me, if you run up ECUFlash with a 1.3M cable attached to the PC but not to a vehicle, what does ECUFlash report the cable as? Is it a "FT232R USB UART A3001LCw" or is it reported as "OpenPort 1.3".
Not sure how ECUFlash recognises it, but I think it's this step that's failing for me for some reason.

Burgers, I'm the other end of the country. North-East - near Whitby.
If I don't have any joy in the next couple of days, any chance you'd be able to test my cable if i post it down to you - i'll pay all return postage costs of course, just be nice to prove the cable is working or not.
It's a real pain when something like this happens the first time you try. I don't know for sure whether it's the cable/car/software install or a mixture of all 3 so it's a matter of elimination.

I received some software off Colby this morning that he wrote especially to allow me to flash the cable at my end. Worked a treat and have now successfully read the map from my car!
Many thanks to all who helped, and a big thumbs up for Colby. Cheers!
