On my way home tonight the check engine warning light came on flashed a couple of times then went off, it wasnt till I got home and parked up in drive that I noticed it was on again.
Now didnt drive at any speed coming home traffic wouldnt allow so will check oil and water levels.

Anyone have an idea of cause??????

My freind owns a garage and now and again he will buy a car and a light will be on ie check engine, airbag light. nine times out of ten it will just be a case of taking it to a dealer to have it reset.
Drop in to your local dealer and ask.

could be almost anything, mine came on intermittently, then i had problems starting from cold - it turned out it was the temperature sensor that was faulting - get a dealer (i used power engineering) to plug it in to their diagnostic computer and it will tell you what the problem is.

About a month ago I took my MY99 wagon to 6.5K revs in 3rd. It felt nice, but about 3 minutes after .... the 'check' light came on.

I drove slowly for a while, then parked up for a few hours. Have not seen the light come on since, and there's been plenty of 'high end rev action' going on I can tell you.

It's still best to get it checked it out. At my next service (Sep) I'll ask Subaru for the once over.

I think I have found the answer..........maybe

The chap I brought it from was using super unleaded or such like he said he would have used optimax but there were no shell garages in his area, so since I live nearly on top of one goes and fills it up was nearly empty with optimax . when I drove it on the old fuel it was fine only started happening when new fuel has dragged itself through the pipework in the engine.

now do I run it down to half full and put unleaded back in and mix it or do I see help from someone in the know ???????
