    Check for any fault codes stored in the ECU:
    • Place one foot on the accelerator and one on the brake simultaneously
    • Insert the key into the ignition and turn to the second position (The dashboard lights will turn on but do not start the car)
    • Look at the mileage display and it will display any error codes that are saved in the ECU currently
    Post any code displayed here.

    Press and hold the odometer reset button and turn the ignition on to dash lights, wait 30 seconds, reset (turn to off +then start) ignition, start car see if it goes off.

    when that done he gets this 'insp....'
    All the big powers they've silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right, and outing the liars.

    Where about in the UK are you silky?
  • The same light came on when I was driving my Astra on the motorway, and it stayed on until the next day. Then it went off and never appeared again, except for when it came on when the ignition was switched on.

    The same light is currently on in my 59 plate Vauxhall and the above advice worked for me. You need to press both pedals to the floor. I got a code which is for the engine coolant temperature sensor.

    Im going to ask him to try again, the last time he did it he had the keys in the ignition before he put the feet to the floor, maybe he should have followed the steps to the 'T'
