Technical Panda newbie with running issues
Is it a regular flash or a random flash

regular, as in constantly flashing when the engine is running, as mentioned before I thought this was an improvement from the solid EML I had but now I would prefer to at least have codes so I have an idea of what it is.
Did the flashing start immediately after clearing the codes

Yeah the first time I started it after clearing the codes it started flashing
If the car is running correctly
I suspect the clear code has also cleared the adaptive memory
If this is the case a phonics relearn will be needed
Warm engine rev engine three times in succession it fall to idle inbetween
6000 RPM wide open theottle stab and let the engine return to idle
If this is the case, then it's the first scanner I have know that wipes the adaptive memory when clearing the codes

Maybe ill send a video of her running tomorrow as it's running way smoother than it ever has since I've had it. i thought that a flashing EML light means that it had a misfire which i definitely did have. if it still has a misfire it is very very small as i cant hear but maybe you guys can. i will try the phonics relearn tomorrow as well to try and get that EML reset.
I have got it booked for the 22nd of April at a highly recommended auto electrician who after speaking to him on the phone said he has sorted out a few panda's before with this issue. I would love to be able to fix this before then as I bought this as a little run around and haven't been able to use it yet and the highly recommended electrician has advised it could cost up to £300 which I cant afford unfortunately. so fingers crossed this works. agagin thanks for your help.

Should read
With the engine warm
3x 6000 RPM wide open throttle stabs in quick succession letting the engine return to idle inbetween each
At least it read better to me

I can't thank you enough 
I did the phonics relearn this morning, and she passed her MOT today so happy had a good 40-mile drive and drove perfectly, and the EML light hasn't come back on!! couldn't be happier, and this is by far the best forum experience I've ever had. way better than the BMW forums I'm used to.
