The code needs to be read to find out what the fault is. May or maynot be related to the work youve had done.

i have heard that if you decat a newage it will normally throw up a check engine light as they need to be mapped, i'm probably wrong though. lol

Sorry fella, cant help you but your thread title was the funniest i have seen yet!!

Hmmmm, the others have more than covered this. Chances are the DTC is being caused by the decat but you need to get it checked. If it is the obvious cause, you need either a physical fix (i.e. resistor) or someone disabling the trouble code in the ECU.

However...

So, what does your guide dog have to say about the car?

He says in his post its a CAT back with a decatted centre section, that shouldnt throw a CEL.

Thanks for. All your input people gonna take it somewhere get it sorted needs a service anyway. Does anyone know if scoobyworks in loughborough leics are any good? And as for my thread title its how I feel about it at the moment! And yeah ive heard that decat centre section should'nt cause a problem but hopefully she'll get sorted.

I'm going off Splitpin...

As stated cat efficiency out of range = CEL, mine only did it cruising on the motorway, thrashed round the B-roads, no problem.
