I guess there must have been something else triggered in this case. Last time I had my battery disconnected on my '97 Si was in Spain when a part of my exhaust needed welding. I'm pretty sure I didn't limp home those 2000 Km's afterwards.Phil - Nottingham wrote:The problem with disconecting the battery to reset/reboot the computer is that it the engine management setting will revert to limp home mode base settings which needs aRover garage or someone with data to retune it. Some times some of these can be partialy reset by the owner by warming up the engine switching off turning the ignition on and pressing the accelerator pedal down in a special sequence. Warning lights also on and off to signify whether its working or not.
This was the case with my 1987 820SE
Also on my '95 Si it was disconnected several times, but never did anything like this happen.
