You have to configure in software the parameter LIGHT ON using etube, and then the battery will reserve part of the juice for the light power to avoid running out of battery when light is on and causing a safety hazard, thus available Km autonomy will be reduced.
Adapter cost is 18,29€ in Germany (vs 22GBP = 24,2€ in sigmasports), but I do not know if you have to pay import taxes in UK

My Ghost Kato FS L size uses a 116 link chain, so I buy the 116 one, which is cheaper and I do not have to cut it.
So check the lenght of your chain and if it is a 116 link then you are lucky like myself
4Mybike eBay ad shows a warning that FW level of the motors they are selling is 4.3.2, which was released by Shimano on Dec 21th 2017, newer FW version 4.3.4 was released on Jan 16th 2018, so these motors were manufactured before Jan 16th 2018, which does not mean they are bad motors, but...
If the "computer" is the display, then yes, you can replace the motor.
But it is required to configure the new motor parameters: Wheel circumference and motor angle and you need to know the values for your bike, as stored in the old motor. Your store should be able to do it for you or you may...
Which is your bike and battery?
Mine has an external battery BT-E8016 and it is possible to adjust the upper mounting bracket to reduce battery play.
But I do not know for internal batteries
Check also that the round motor connector plugs firmly in place and secured and to take it out you have to move the conector sleeve.
Check also that the pins inside the conector and motor look fine and do not show signs of corrosion.
As this thread is getting long and the useful information is spread in different posts, it is becoming difficult for a newby to understand the process. Some time ago I made a compilation of this thread, initially for myself, but as it might be useful for others, I am posting it here...
E010 is a generic error, meaning that power to motor starts but is removed after a few mS because there is an unknown error on any part of the Steps system.
Check battery connector and battery to motor connector for damaged pins.
Check for unplugged, dirty or pinched cables to display, motor...
I suppose you do this test to the motor alone, I mean wheels (mainly rear hub) and brakes are not involved.
Then, this looks like a problem with a motor internal bearing, gearwheel or clutch that has a problem. If you are lucky and the problem is a bearing then it can be replaced at a low...
I read that Shimano may detect the use of TPM software if:
* You change a setting to a value that is not available in Shimano etube
* You derestrict the motor, and later restrict it again. But motot may keep log of high power usage not available in normal use.
If no settings are changed, it...
I do not pay attention to what he says, he is just a grumpy person looking to create conflicts where they dont exist so I just ignore him, but looks like this infuriates him even more and chases me and my posts in forums, and he even digs up a three month old post just to explain how good and...
The theories about the motor angle and "walk mode" are good, but the motor angle is also important for the motor normal assistance, the motor needs to know the angle at which the rider starts pushing the pedals and providing "human torque" so the motor modulates its power each revolution...
