    PS By now the OP should be getting the message that the little flashing engine gizmo covers a host of things;)


    Edited to add;

    Read the last post before you waste your money (me that is):rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed

    Sorry bet already accepted and payment taken :D
  • mot has nothing to do with the engines.

    I used to be (5 years ago) into my hot hatches. Every now and then the engine light would come on. 9/10 i would find that disconnecting the battery and then taking each sensor off cleaning it up and putting it all back together would clear the fault.

    After 1 hour put the battery on and most times the problem had cleared!

    My money is on a coil pack or map sensor.

    Take it to any local garage they can plug your car into their computer and probably tell you whats up. DO NOT goto fords for this!

    I think you may be right there, brilliant diagnosis by the way! :D
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die
