I filled up today at asda and drove about a mile to the dual carriageway when I booted it, the my MIL light came on in 4th at max revs.

Now my MIL came on six months ago after filling up at asda and booting it on the dual carriageway, I took the car to a lotus garage who said it was a misfire and not to worry, they reset the light.

Since then I bought on ebay some software and an interface to read the codes for £80, the code today was P1302 so a bloody misfire again, can I just switch off the light and clear the fault which is an option on the software or will I have to take it to a lotus garage again?

I can only put it down to asda fuel but I'm a bit miffed as I'm getting in the habit of not hitting second cam

Lol topping out in 4th on a dual carriage way. So thats about 120mph then? Is in my standard S1. Cant you just disconnect the battery for an hour or so to reset the ecu?

I will not confirm or deny how fast I was going, I don't want to disconnect the battery and starting the car 5 times didn't work (mind you it didn't on the minor fault last time) I could just click the clear fault button.

Lotus had it 20 seconds last time with the exact same fault after the exact same driving and reset it, sent me on my way and said don't worry.

It only ever happens after filling up

If your confident in using the program you have then do it. Ive never used them or saw them. As for disconecting the battery it takes 2 mins. Your call.
