Sorry if this has been covered before. I have a 3.0 S type. Whilst driving to work this morning the display showed engine failsafe mode and also a yellow warning light. (hand book etc all at home)I was travelling at about 40mph changing up from 3rd gear. I had no loss of power or any noticeable change. I eased of the trottle and the light went out and I carried on to work. It may have happened once more about 5-10mins later at about 50-60mph but the message went out as quick as it came on. Should I drive home etc. What should I be looking for to fix????

The yellow warning light I wouldn't worry about. If it resets itself after you switch the ignition off and restart then you will probably be fine. There may be a fault code stored so you can pop to a dealer and get it checked. but if all seems ok now, I would just forget about it. if it returns or becomes a pain get it checked out.

That's ok. It's just a computer after all and sometimes they have a wobble.
