I think it's a "water in the fuel filter" light.

Couple of things, was after it'd been for a valet, so possible water may have got in somewhere, but then only came on going round a corner...

just have to drive scooby tomorrow and book it in....

Book it in.... jees.

Just unscrew the bottom of the fuel filter a few turns, let a bit drain out and screw back up again...

Then sqeeze the rugby ball shaped bit of pipe a few times and your done.
Start the car and rev it a bit.. Jobs a goodun.

If you have two left hands, ignore the above and book it in.

I wouldn't even go with 2 left hands...!!!!! Me and mechanics just don's go..!!! It'll be cheaper to book it in than pay for it to be collected when it doesn't start..!! Drove it this morning and it was fine, light hasn't come back on.
