    once its XXXX you cant fix it by doing mileage again, SMOK will not fix it, can only be fixed manually on bench using a hexeditor

    There is a way of repairing with the m500 it by using a combination of different cars focus and custom for example . its due I believe to the fact that when you use transit you dont get a full read
