how can you have a code "0"??
codes are given by number of flashes, so to get a code 0, there would be no flashes, so how do you know you have it?!?!

As mine never had 4ws and has no 4ws light I read on line that the check engine light would flash to give me the code, I put the paper clup in and it just goes out, so im asuming thats code 0
If im doing some thing wrong please tell me as im fed up with that dam orange light

Nope, every code has a series of flashes. If the light just goes out it indicates there are no faults stored.
I'd first try a reset of the ECU as here:

Then see how you go.
The ECU, the 4WS and the ABS all have their own lights, which flash ECU error code related to that system.

Ive reset it many times but it still comes on, I have no 4ws or abs, it did stay off once but only for about 10 minutes

Right so you are getting the check engine light come on while driving? Hence why you've done the paperclip test? As Adam suggests, if the light comes on then goes out but doens't flash any codes, none are stored. Very weird.
It's definitely the engine light and not the cat temp sensor warning light? Many have got these confused before. Best suggestion I can make on the info. Does seem very odd though.

Also see my post
here, that might be why it's not showing you codes...

Yea, as wurlycorner says in the link above, if you dont get a good contact with the wire or paperclip, it wont work and the light just goes out.You may need to push it in further
. Also, make sure you are using the right plug, there are two close together, and if i remember correctly it's easy to get wrong one.
