I just bought a s1 and it looks like im having ecu issues. When I start up all the dash lamps light up for their check but then the bottom 4 start flashing for about a min. The owners manual says it means there's a fault with the ecu. Is there a way to check the codes without a reader. In an old Pontiac I had you could stick a paper clip in the obd socket and it would flash the codes at you. Also on another note does anyone know of a good knowegable tuner in the Cambridge area. Hopefully someone that specializes in old fords. Cheers

Other than the flashing are you having any faults with the car I.e cutting out, missing, rough idle etc

It's got a rather erratic idle at times. where it revs up and down. And it always seems to be idling at a diff rpm.
