ECU error codes
Discussion
Might be worth disconnecting the battery and seeing if the MIL comes back on after a drive before doing anything to drastic. Expect to run ropey for a while however as the ECU relearns the car. Mine was just a persistent misfire cured by drying the plugs, replacing the leads and sealing the screw holes in the cover.

Thanks for the idea but I have tried that.
I have reset the ecu using a code reader and have disconnected battery plus some other ticks suggested.
I was hoping to get some suggestions on the specific codes I have.
Dont want to take it to a dealer unless I have to as Im sure they will replace everything and charge me a small fortune!!

Any local garage with a laptop should be able to plug into the footwell port and clear the ECU's error log - this will switch the MIL off. If their software doesn't list Lotus, get them to put it through as a Rover, it will still be able to read/clear the error log correctly.
This should be fine if the MIL only came on because of a one-off incident but if the problem re-occurs and the MIL comes on again you should probably investigate further.

The Mil light will reset itself after it has not recd a repeat message from the sensor after a while, If you are sure that all is ok and mil light is on permanently not flashing then just continue to drive using all the rev range and it should clear itself,mine did this when I first got the car and it took about 5 days to clear
