    Engine light i think? Dreaded one..

    Mine came one when the air intake pipey bit came out, also when my ecu died, and when my fan broke (randomly).. But as above get a haynes manual or something and should have good little troubleshooting

    maybe it just came on because of the cut off switch if the cars running ok just get the light reset.. not sure if disconnecting the battery for a while resets it?

    May do, if not take it to a garage and they do an ecu reset thing that will get rid of it

    try disconnecting the battery for a few hours. If not, plug it into a diagnostics machine

    taking the bulb out won't solve the problem.

    Go on ebay spend £20 on a OBDII (OBD2) read, plug that in and it will tell you the problem.

    Dont take the lamp out!!
