You'll have a job getting a diagnostic tester to read the codes. Try connecting the diagnostic plugs under the dash and letting us know what you find. Maybe you get some more useful information.
Search on here for fault code retrieval or look on Jolly Green Monster's website for instructions. I'm sure it's on there.

Mine came on a few weeks ago,but I couldn't find a garage that could use a fault code reader.Someone on here told me about the on board diagnostics with joining the wires under the dash and it works a treat.Check here.

It resets the ecu and checks everything,then gives you the code by way of the engine light flashes,then that check the code against that link and you're away.
