hi to all, just to be short I've just brought my first subaru model WRX Sti on an 02 plate. only had it four days and only done 125 miles in her, anyhow always wanted one and now got one , the main reason for my purchase was the excellent history that shes got, full service and one owner, however I've just noticed that a light has appeared on the instrument panel a picture of a gear box type picture, upon looking in the book it states not to drive as there is a problem with the emissions , should I start to worry or just take the car back, not sure what to do, any help or advice would be gratefully appreciated , kind regards supasumo

Engine management light ? could be a number of things. do you run an aftermarket exhaust or air intake ?
