Vauxhall fault code video from pedal trick - help please

Hi,

I'm trying to work out what fault codes my 2010 Vauxhall Astra has without paying for diagnostics at the garage.

I've read that you can count the 4digit codes (much like morse code) from the flashing engine light when you start the ignition with the accelerator and brake pressed.

My problem is that it seems to be a bit different sometimes, and also its fast!!

I recorded it 4 times in a row with the hope that somebody can do a better job that me interpreting!

Thanks in advance, here are the videos:
