Yep, what he said...it is definitely due to one of the sensors picking up a fault condition...

The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

I've just shown you how to diagnose the fault for under £20
You plug it in check the code, look it up on the table, BINGO. If no code is stored the sensor is FCUKedThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

Cheers puss - I think I'll get one anyway.
The advise on getting the diognostic report is a good idea anyway - my local garage does that anyway - I did though want to avoid a main dealer...
Now, can I put down the code checker as a ligitimate business expense ?
If the invoice says "code checker" I think I'll b ok !

I had a similar issue with an ABS sensor recently, warning light indicated ABS system, yet with a multimeter I found the fault as a sensor, not the actual system. A backstreet garage couldn't find the fault (luckily I knew the guy so he did it for nothing.)
It's probably something simple, but most garages won't make it simple. An easy bit of DIY (as easy as plugging in a power lead to a computer) could save you 100sLast edited by Bagpuss; 15 October 2007, 12:38.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

The electrics on French cars are notoriously poo. If you are really tight e.g. from Yorkshire, you could try running it in the dark, if there is an obvious short it will light up like the Blackpool illuminationsThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
