Might just be a short somehwere? Temperature gauge not sitting higher than normal is it?

[alexh]

[alexh]

Get it checked out at the service mate :y: best option. I know how you feel cos I would hate driving it waiting for something to happen.

i got my car checked and apparently its either the cat or the oxygen sensor...the light was turned off and still hasnt come back on so is it worth having the work dun?

My engine light came on and it was the cat. So not a big problem

[alexh]

[Marky_C]

Just ignored it and got the garage to turn the light off.

[alexh]
