Thanks Grizzly, this info does not appear to have the 8 flashing lights as a fault, so can you possibly help me further.. I also note my model number is 42PQV not the VQV does this make a difference, or is it the same model just that I'm in New Zealand and your in the great land lol.

I tried to run the unit in test mode after reseting the power mains. But it just doesnt respond. I am stumped and now the customers are considering installing a new unit, although I would feel a far better engineer if I could fix this one for them.
Cheers

According to the manual, 8 flashes equals...

- Indoor Fan Motor itself failure
- Fan motor capacitor failure
- Connection fail of indoor fan motor wires
- Main control PCB failure
