The code reader plug under the dash won't stay on so when I plug the obd reader in I only get the red light on, when I wiggle the reader green and amber ones come on then go back off. Now I remember when bob rawle was mapping the car he did say somit about it going off and I had to keep pushing his reader into the plug all the time (no good on a remap) are the plugs easy to change and get hold of ??

I can't imagine them being easy to change, as they will be wired direct to the ECU so probably be part of the wiring harness, bit I'm sure someone will know for sure.

They may just need some contact spray to clean them up.
