this the one in the lower right of the dash, the orange one? i think thats the missions light, mine came on the other day too, followed by the ignition waring, then the car went into limp mode.

it was on the empty tho, so i got to a petrol station, filled up and went for a blast, and its fine now. The v-power i put in last time must of been contaminted. The manual says these lights can come on if water is present in the petrol system.

Lol....Im sure someone will be along to move it soon for you but thats one extra post to your name for such a pointless comment anyway.

Which light is it mate?? My ABS one and the traction light flicked on a few times a but iv never had it hapen again to date.

Is it constantly on after switching the ignition off and then on again??

lol me bad....
it's the orange engine warning light on the bottom right of the dash.
it flashed a couple of times. it's not on constantly after restarting.
i filled it up to the brim with v-power yesterday cos it was same price as normal unleaded.

same as me then mate, water in the engine bay most likely, or contaminated petrol, take it for a gd spanking now uve filled it up to run some new juice thru the injectors etc.

93.9p.
there was some shell rep on the forecourt - he said it's v-power week and selected garages would be offering it at the same price as normal unleaded.
