Does the speedo work,if not then that could be the cause of your problem as it will put the ecu into Limp home mode.

www.JollyGreenMonster.com - Engine management specialist check the help page on how to check for error codes.

If the speedo works then that may not be the problem.

THE CEL is on the lower right dash below the rev counter it will light up when you put the key in the ignition then go uout once the car is started.

Check the link i've posted to see what error codes (if any have been registered)

check the link i've posted as it tells you how to check for error codes.

Get the speedo working,it's cable operated so may have been disconnected from the back of the speedo head or from the gearbox.

yeah think it may be disconnected from the gearbox. just read the error code page on that link and ill try that tomorrow mate. do you think it will be a big problem?

Reconnecting the speedo cable then reseting the ecu (also on the link i've posted) and all should be well.
