Are you in South Wales?
Otherwise it should clear itself after 4-5 good starts, if the problem no longer exists.

Read somewhere you can clear by turning ignition on and off quickly 10 times. No idea if this is true as I have had no opportunity to try.

Its the management light
Be careful!!! mine was on for a while cos of a sensor being off so it was nothing important. Problem was if there's any other pending problems there's no way of knowing cos the lights already on. I paid the price........£3k for a new engine! :-( Amanda
