Default MIL eliminator (DIY)

Righto, got an engine management light on in my fiesta since fitting a full milltek, basically looking at MIL eliminators for it. Ones to buy are like £20 (!!) for not a lot, so I'm looking at making one. Found this http://www.paladinmicro.com/MustangMILEliminator.htm but not 100% if it'll be the same for my car? So, anyone know if it'll work on a 2001 fiesta zetec s? Or got any advice? Thanks, Sam.

All it does is trick the 2nd lambda into thinking the car still has a cat, so I should expect so?

Having the light on will not effect the running of your car so the easiest thing and cheapest thing to do is pull the bulb

I Know, but I still want the light. Pulling the bulb means me removing half the dash to remove the cluster, and them breaking it off the pcb, which I do not want to do, when this will possibly work, and all I need to do is solder 2 wires...
