I understand it not good to drive it when the em light is on, so I will try and get it done asap, hopefully this weekend, I am a bit annoyed really as I have payed over 23k for a car and had it just over a month and have lights coming on,so hopefully not to sinister, otherwise I will be driving it back to where I got it from, hope yours gets sorted,Is Doug from Mrc?[/quote]

Sorry was meant to reply on this thread earlier.

I took it to AMD in Essex

They performed a diagnostic check, It came up with something about my cats, (I will get code up on here tomorrow).

As I have high flow cats, 100/200cell it needed a map to compensate for it,

They found it had been mapped but not to cover for cats,

They mapped to it stage 2, Pre map I had 350 ish now 366 with more torque it drives so much better and starts more smooth, so smooth no lights anymore:)

But needs a carbon clean as should see over the standard 420bhp with stage 2, and supporting mods.

so thats next:)

They were very helpful and know their stuff, I dealt with Ben, and will carry on to use them very happy:)

Nice one, glad its sorted. Thought you would have had more power than that. I would have guessed you had a vacuum leak, however this would have shown up on the diagnosis.
Money can't buy you love, but it can buy you a well sorted racecar
