But don't know which system the codes refer to. I assume it must be for my 16v as I keep getting code 43!
Feel free to tidy this lot up Vanny if you wish

The link from the first post is unnavailable?

Anyone has the PDF?

Anyone knows the procedure to do the check without having a diagnosis machine?

I've re-uploaded the file for you, shouldn't get lost again.

There are instructions to manually read the fault codes on bx16v forum

http://www.bx16v.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic ... a6fcb8e744

Its worth noting that on many if not all later cars only one side of the diagnostic connector under bonnet is actually connected to anything due to a fault in the wiring!
