i assume you are doing the paper clip test without the engine running :-\,it will only work with the ignition on and no engine running  HTH  :y

Does yours normally have 2 digit fault codes, or 4 digit fault codes?

If the latter, it just means no (recent) stored faults :)

Are you saying that the bulb which illuminates the Engine Management Light has been tested/checked, and it definitely works, since this 'paperclip test not working' has been observed?
