'Check Engine' light on now!

[davegreg]

Got about 800 or so miles on my new engine now, drove down to the NEC Classic Car Show today, just pulled into the carpark and the feckin' 'Engine' light came on - I think my car is developing a sense of humour! Put a slight damper on my day to be honest. Drove home okay luckily, everything seems okay, temperatures and oil pressure is fine and it doesn't cut out or anything. Weird one....
NEC show seemed smaller than usual this year, only 5 halls...

Yeah, I freaked out a bit too - to the point where I actually left the car show a lot earlier than I would normally have done, thinking that if it were to break down then i'd rather it did it in the daylight rather than after dark! I'll keep an eye on it for the next few days and hopefully just get it re-set again when I take it up for it's next oil change in a few months time.

Ah right, cheers Snowy.....i'll have a look for one of those then.

Good enough for simple faults

Nice one, cheers mate.

Bought a code reader from Amazon for £11 - handy bit of kit! Turns out there was 2 fault codes, both were to do with the cats....so I just erased them and the 'check engine' light has now gone out on the dash.
