It could be anything from an emissions sensor failing (not serious) to a major engine component on it's way out. Best thing to do is to get a select monitor on it asap.

How does the car drive, any loss of boost or roughness?

Had a similar thing on my MY00 a while back - turned out to be the Lambda Sensor. Get it checked out at a dealer asap.

Cheers,

Ian.

didnt notice any loss of power car seems to be running fine
worries me when lights just appear on the dash board

hopefully phone the dealer in the morning to se if they can help
typical it is due for its 35,000 miles service aswell

thanks
