Hi,
Other than the ECU blinking to read codes is there a plug on these cars where codes can be read from, and if so where is the plug and what does it look like?
Thanks!

Nope, that's it I'm afraid...
The Workshop manual, might give you other component tests you can perform to root-cause a problem.
(Many manuals are available as a downloads in the members area

)

Thanks John - I have read what appear to be the relevant manuals on the club website and while I can see the auto lockup is triggered by the ECU I cannot find anything that gives the logic flow of what inputs result in the auto lockup being disabled.
Any clues anyone??
Thanks

Found this capped off green three pin plug near the windscreen wash tank. What is it for?
Thanks Tony

If you have Lucas 5AS alarm system that 3-pin green plug should be diagnostic connector for Lucas 5AS alarm system.
