cheers all, ill try it a bit later when it gets darker. ill let you know how it goes.

yep should be beside the plug socket where you stuck the paper clip in

carnt see anythin flashin. the led in the fuse box?

its the yellow led bulb to the right of the paper clip that flashes!!! not the light on the dash!

ye how long does it take to flash then

ur not watching fro the engine management light flashing are you?

any suggestions

still no joy!!

mine started doing this earlier today, i thought "oh balls"...but after reading this, its probably nothing to worry about.
The small orange light flashed up for about 5 seconds (ish) then went out, did it about 2-3 times in the space of an hour, is this the diagnostic check?

u turn on the ignition 1st then stick the paperclip in

nothin happened. i put the paperclip in turned the ignition on and it didnt start to flash. On the aldl 16 pin plug the only connections there are pin 3,4,5,7,and16 is this the norm

if the code flashes once, pauses then flashes twice, just ignore this as its the code for the diagnostic check :)

cherrs mate :thumbs:

its the top n bottom ones on the very left hand side. also make sure that ur ignition is on

Hi all, Just latley my engine management light has started to come on :mad:
