The ECU is in the passenger footwell. There is no standard obd and if the MIL light is coming on it means that there is currently a fault somewhere. It doesnt remember and need reseting.

The software is available here http://www.tvr-cerbera.co.uk/software.html and you will need a serial cable - either 9 pin or 3 pin depending on the age of your ECU

Arda - Did you get my email?
An OBD gizmo won't reset the Engine MIL light. You need a laptop a standard serial lead fromMaplins/PC World.
