Hey Dieselman...yes you must be way up there

OK so I bit the bullet and purchased the Lexia Laptop/Ancillaries etc and today was my first attempt to talk to the old girl
After a few attempts actually managed to get a list of faults from her "as long as my arm" !!!
Not sure when all these date from but wanted a bit of advice on wether to clear all the faults and then fire her up for as long as she will run and then check for faults again....or attempt to work thru the list
I don't fully understand the "intermittent' Vs the "permanent" so will have to start at the creation of the universe
As always your thoughts are appreciated Obi 1
