Guy's,
I have a decatted my00, with a dawes and filter, the CEL has not come on for at least 6 months, but, I just took a leisurely drive to town, and it came on twice, an even gentler few miles and it goes out. So, any ideas??
Also, which plugs do I put together under the dash to get the error code tp show??
Ta in advance.

have a look here
Sounds like a sensor going out of range and then back in when you drive it slowly.. MAF or Lambda at a guess..
Take it easy until sorted.

Yes..
Connect them both, turn immobiliser off, turn on ignition (don;t start engine yet), place foot to the floor on accelerator, back to half throttle and hold for a bit (I do 30seconds), foot off accelerator, start engine and drive.. just drive it slowly..
you will get a flash on the CEL after a couple of minutes or less.. either the ok code, or an error code. Disconnect plugs.

Sensor is situated at the top of the downpipe, just by the turbo
Shouldn't be too hard to do, I'll let you know at the end of the week as my replacement should be here by then!

Thanks,
I've just done the check, it flashes loads, it tells me code 11, (crank sensor) 12, (starter switch) 32 (O2 sensor) and 53, (fuel pump or circuit)
So, it would seem to me, that the fact that the car rub=ns fine, could just mean that the )2 sensor need changing, as, if all the others were wrong, it wouldn't run, would it?
As you can tell, this is all pretty new to me, I could strip and rebuild a Mini in my sleep, but not a Scooby!!

RON, find someone with a SECS monitor... That'll tell ya exactly which codes are appearing. (I never could count the flashes properly!).
Their website has tech info downloads in the top right hand link, giving full details of the error codes and their meaning.
Wonder who did their website?
