Can anybody help?? The light underneath the petrol warning light came on this morning and hasnt gone off yet. The only way i can describe it is a rectangle with a "pulse rate" going through it with a coil underneath that :confused: thanks peeps

    Is it a petrol, 1.2 16v.?

    Usually a sign of the coil pack, is the car running ok.

    Are you with the AA / RAC.

    You can call them out, and ask them too look at it. Get them to plug into the ECU (lift the ashtray out - plug in there) and read the faults from the ECU.

    I had a Clio 182, the Cat light would come on, and would take 3-4 cold starts before it would reset the light.

    My advice is worth exactly what you're paying for it!
