I know its not ford related but can anyone help.

I'm about as far from an expert as you can get but seeing as it's only come on once the new exhaust has been fitted it sounds like it's blowing from one of the joints between two sections of the system and it needs resealing. Could also be a dodgy silencer (which I presume is new?) or cracked manifold (unlikely).

The exhaust is brand new thanks for your reply i will let him know cheers. :)

Poorly sealed joint they do tend to carbon up over a short periodunless its a particulary shonky joint.
