With the paperclip?
You earth that pin, and turn the key to IGN, and the engine light flashes.
You count how many, and then look it up in the FAQ.

I'll give that a go. I'm in Caversham, so just across the river.

Undo the kneepad thing on the center console, on the side of the CD cubbyhole. It's one screw and there is a big shiny earth bolt under it.
Jam a paperclip into the end two pins (1 and 9) and then loop a wire from it to the earth bolt. Then twist the key (don't start).
The ECL light will flash periodically. Count the number of quicks and slows and then look up that number in the FAQ.

Nope, no luck, no flashing engine management light after trying the paperclip fix.
If I reset the ECU by pulling and replacing the appropriate fuse, I would assume the system will still warn if it encounters the fault again?

Would have suggested the paperclip but it rarely seems to work!
