The opposite for me as the LPG brings on the EML although with CoD it is now the amber hand brake light.

You can easily see the egr blanks if the pipes have been removed, even without removing the engine cover.
One of the reasons why I always use shims at the bottom of the pipes so the pipes stay visible.

Fair point. That's going to nail a lot of folk; I can see ebay will be awash with bargains being sold by folk who don't have a clue who've been to garages run by other folk who don't have a clue. Anyone with a halfway decent knowledge of diagnostics is going to be rubbing their hands together Whistle
