Last week, was working on the car , was having a poke round engine bay at hoses, cables etc and thought the MAF connection wasnt sitting right ( it was !!) so i quickly unplugged it and put it back to make sure ............... unfortunately i did this whilst it was running :slap: and its thrown the light up ! I disconected the battery all night but its still there , I take it this only works on some cars .. any other suggestions?

This 850R doesnt have the fly lead and diagnostic unit behind the headlight, it has the PC port under the coin tray inside ..battery has been off for 15 hours ..no joy !!!!!

Think you'll need to get the codes cleared for it to go off. Anyone close to you got a reader etc ? If not one could be posted.

You can make one yourself if you have a few wires around. It'll do everything but reset the service light.

Do read the original link I put on there at the end, as it seems my summarised instructions are a bit too summarised.
