Torch it ;-)

Get it over to Murrays or nearest place with a OBDII thingmy and read out the code - I'm kind of busy at present but someone will be able to help if you post up the codes ...

Cheers,

Check your oil just in case - long story. I am sure that the manual advises you exactly what to do depending upon whether the light flashes etc

Once thats wired in, the light will never come on again!
