Possible blessing in disguise

All set to go to thunder road, car in at picador for sports cats /headers cold air intake and re-map on friday
Then had a big problem on site so could not go. Just got home and thought nice afternoon go out for a blast and 2 miles up the road Check engine warning light on plus the little orange engine logo ???????????
As I am a builder and don,t have a clue about engines any ideas ( checked the oil that I can do )

without access to a code reader you need to take it back (on a trailer) to the dealer to look into it. Orange light could be anything, not sure if there is a way to get the display to show you the fault code. Are you with the AA? Get them to read the code, if you had headers it could just be a slow response signal from an o2 sensor but from memory I dont recall them throwing up the check engine light

If the car is driving fine, I wouldnt worry too much. Just dont rake the dung out of it until its looked at.

Thanks guys, yea car runs fine ( sounds good too ) but will wait for a call back from picador.

Get that little 'B' all the time! First time it was the 02 sensor and I had it changed. When we were drag racing at Shakeys it came on all the time. Just get it now and again now. Switch off, restart and ignore it now!

Yeah I got this when I had decat pipes, was an O2 sensor issue and more recently since converting to lpg, where its a fuel trim issue. Putting cats back on the car got rid of it in the first instance and its actually having a tune to get rid of it as we speak for the fuel trims. Car has always run fine.
