Hi All. My "MIL" light has come on since fitting a Mark Adams Chip, does anyone have a fault reader preferably in the Devon area ? If further away would any of you be willing to post it if I met all costs and posted it back?
Am baffled as to what could be wrong as the car is sounding and running great.

Cheers all.

Mark Adams turns the MIL circuit on with his chips, its not enabled on most stock chips. It may be picking up something that does not affect the running like a purge valve, and the fault has always been there, but you simply have not seen it until now the MIL is active.

Thanks for the info. I read somewhere the same about the Mark Adams chip turning on the MIL light, would still like to check out for fault codes if anyone can help though.

Got one in Winchester. Won't be going near the post office for a while though so you'd need to pick it up.

Mine did exactly the same when I fitted a MA chip. Turns out it was a faulty lambda sensor that was picked up once the MIL was turned on. Six months later it lit up again, this time it was the other lambda sensor. Been fine ever since.
