Thanks guys, I have now found out from you a whole lot more about how the A320 systems work, I still have my reservations.
It's probably an age related predjudice against automatic systems. I must be honest, I am still happier with a contact breaker than a hall effect electronic ignition and carburettors rule over fuel injection.
Sorry all.

Nothing to be sorry for. I miss being able to do a lot of things on my car too. New cars seem to be more reliable but when they do break they are a pain in the butt to troubleshoot. Same applies to the new generation planes I work on too. Less fixing a given problem and more box changing. Even have a computer suggesting which other computer needs changing.(It's not always right either)
