Try this fella

A few things to try in here, hitting bits with spanners is always a good idea.

Edit... this one looks easiest to try first

Make sure you know your radio code.

If the light fails to disappear after resetting the ECU, hit the EPS unit with a screwdriver or something not too heavy a few times. It's the gold unit on the drivers side in the engine bay with 'Showa' written on it.

That seemed to be the gist of the post.
And switch on the hazards - all electricity will be gone.


Good luck

Nope.

I'm afraid at the risk of the mods beating me up.. I'm going to say it...

1/ Try the search function. Someone must have done it before.
Be brave and spend an hour or so searching through the posts.

2/ Ask Garage R for what they sell.


3/ Put up another post ( also mention where you are ) - someone locally is bound to help.
