lad from work has the above car and an 'engine warning' light has just come on on his way to work, checked the manual and says if it is on permanently to book it in for a check up ASAP. If its flashing, to stop the car immediately?
Has anyone come across this or know what it could be? He's not sure whether to drive it the 30 miles home in the morning or not?
cheers
