Default Coil light comes on as im going along! Vivaro ??????

Yesterday in my 53 vauxhall vivaro van, my coil light come on. it usually does when i start it, but not as im going along !!!! I seemed to have no power too, think the turbo wasnt running ???

I turned the engine off and back on and its now fine. Does it mean im due for new glow plugs??? a turbo mabey??? service???

Im tryin to avoid goin vauxhall and giving them £75 for a diagnosis.

Any ideas ???
