Decat S/S exhaust fitted and Check Engine Light has just come on for first time. Going to Rolling Road Meet on Sunday and Donno next Saturday so need to get it sorted.
I take it it will need a reset on a Select Monitor. Can anybody with a Select Monitor do this or does it need to go to the Main Dealer or Independent Specialist?
Either way all advice appreciated.

Mr C advised this morning that disconnecting battery does not work on MY01.
Booked in at 1130 to have the OBD reset on the Select Monitor.
That'll teach me to slow down to a 60mph cruise to let the car cool down a bit

The boards are built and the first 100 are being programmed at the start of next week.
We should have them out by the end of the week. If you are waiting for one, please call us on Wednesday or Thursday.
If the light does come on, in the meantime, it does not affect ANY operating parameter of the car. In fact my 244bhp run at PE (pre up pipe) was with the light on. The error code is P0420 which is "Catalyst below efficiency threshold".
The light will sometimes go out again, if the ECU decides that it is happy again (or thinks that there is no point telling you anymore? )
