Best to do the test with the engine running where possible as this eliminates the 31...

This happened to me. I simply had not reconnected one of the electrical connectors firmly enough when i re-attached the plennum after cleaning breathers...

Right all well i got the old miggy up on the ramps and when i was under there a white wire that comes from the lambda sensor to a 13mm bolt to the gearbox casing was lose very lose.I have done the bolt back up after giving it abit of aclean and did the paper clip test after and its still showing code 13 so do you guys think that the lamba sensor has gone.If it has gone will it still be fine to drive for the next 2/3 weeks till i get payed dont want the thing breaking down on me

Well 2night on the way home i went up the motorway and did the same speed as i did yesterday when the orange light came on and nothing so i hope iv sorted this but i did the paper clip test and its still saying code 13

after you cleaned and tightend the bolt and driven it has the light gone out
i know on some models you need 20ish or so clean starts for the fault to clear from the memory not sure if yours is one of them
as for runing it if it is faulty you may find that the fuel mixture may be to rich or to weak as this alters the fuel mixing whilst driving i had this go on mine sometime ago and i ran mine for 2-3 days and had no problem but as for a few weeks i dont know keep us posted

Hi prr yes the light has gone out

I'd play a 'wait and see' if light comes back on. If it doesn't, do paperclip check in a week or so, and see whats there

Worth doing a paperclip test every couple of weeks, eg when you check oil/coolant etc - you may find potentially pending problems before you get stuck on a hard shoulder somewhere
