Only that if it's gone away, then it's either fine, or the bulb's blown. wink

All you can do, is put a code reader on it, and see if there's any faults logged. If you were really low on fuel, could one of the banks run lean for a split second?

Hi Ian , cheers for that , there was less than 10 litres in the tank , and I did a roundabout fairly quick and it must have come on after that , I filled up and it did not come back on in two miles , so I think that must be it , if it does not show again I will leave it at that , no way of code reading like the Monaro seems to ?

We get this on the new jeeps when they are low on fuel ie PDI, it brings up the EML until fuel is added.

Yes, both of yours will be. You want one of these as a minimum really. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Any-car-OBD2-EOBD-CAN-Fa...

It should read any car produced after 2000, when OBD became the worldwide industry standard. You can get cheaper, but they just give a code, then you have to look it up in the booklet.
