One last question: my error code was 4-2-10. Anyone know whether that means 420 or 430? Thanks, Mal.

Ooops, meant to say CEL in the title, not ECU. Also, an update: I got it to work, so I must've done something right. However, the flashing sequence never ended - it just kept on repeating, fast and then slow and then fast again. Is this normal? Cheers, Mal.

Hi all, I recently had the engine light come on on my Zed - steady, not blinking - and am trying to get the pedal dance going so I can diagnose and reset it. I've not managed it yet, but there are a couple of things in the instructions I'm not sure I've understood properly. 1. Turning the key to ON The very first bit of the instructions says to turn the key to ON. Does this mean turning it completely (just as when starting the car), such that if I let go of the key, it would move away from the ON position? And if so, do I therefore have to hold the key in that position for the full duration on the reset procedure? 2. When to release the pedal for the flashes and code To get the CEL blinking, the instructions say to "fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for approx. 10 seconds until the CEL starts blinking". So, I take my foot off the pedal as soon as it starts blinking? Thing is, the next instruction -- after the blinks -- says to release the pedal... but I've already done that. It then says to wait 10 seconds, but doesn't say when those 10 seconds start -- is it "wait for 10 seconds after the blinking stops" or "wait for 10 seconds after you've released the pedal"? If the latter, I presume the blinking is going on while I'm counting the 10 seconds? Sorry for the confusion -- I really appreciate that someone's put this stuff online, but I'm getting frustrated by my inability to interpret it correctly. If anyone can clear it up, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, Mal.

Cheers guys. PM's sent (as you'll already be aware - just wanted to keep the thread up to date).

Looking to replace the exhaust on my '53 plate car, preferably with the standard exhaust. Probably just need the centre pipe and backbox, but am happy to take the whole shebang. Cheers, Mal. [Newcastle upon Tyne]

OK, maybe not the Pilot Sports. Just seen how expensive they are! LOL.

12 months ago, I replaced all 4 corners, putting on Falken 452's all round. While they've been ok grip-wise (nothing spectacular, just ok), the wear rate's been shocking. I've done less than 10k miles and have even been driving very, very gently, yet the fronts are already in need of replacement. It's like they're made of marshmallow or something. The rears aren't far behind them either. Very disappointed. Not sure what to get next. Am wondering whether Falkens are a false economy and I should just go with a Michelin Pilot Sport?

Sorry about this - I've been tied up with work-related hassle for a while, but I'm definitely still interested. Can you send me pics of the exhaust, pls? Mal.

Hiya wide, Have PM'd you. Cheers, Mal.

Sounds good. What age car is it from and how would you describe the condition of the exhaust? Mal.

And in the meantime, wide, have you got any pics of the one you're selling? Any more description about the condition it's in? Cheers, Mal.

Definitely not going that high! Does anyone know what's the most liveable-with option, in terms of noise? The Zed's my daily driver, so I don't want something that's going to give me headaches on the commute. Actually, I should probably just RTFM. Off to find the relevant forum advice... Mal.

Wow, that's a canny bit. Sounds like I need to do a bit more research on all the options. Thanks for your help. Mal.

Hi all, Can anyone offer some advice on this? I'm (not urgently) looking for a replacement standard exhaust for my 53-plate GT. Just checked on ebay and it looks like I can get a complete system, brand-new, for £300. However, what's typical for a used exhaust? And would there be any issues fitting wide's 06 exhaust to my 53-plate car? Hope you don't mind me asking this stuff in your thread, wide. I just figure it might be useful for people looking this stuff up later too. Cheers, Mal.

Sorry guys, I'm gonna have to pull out. Can't guarantee that I'll be able to make it. :-/ Mal.
