I have an engine management light apper on my dash yet my car still seems to be running fine so im sort of at a loose end on how to get rid of it? RecentlyIi have had to replace the coil pack, so whilst this was out I did the spark plugs for good measure. After reading through the forums, I saw that I could have a problem with my fuel injectors so I have chucked in some fuel additive to clean them through so now just got to burn through this tank. If anyone has any other suggestion I would be glad to hear them!

Please bear in mind I have the mechanical IQ of a carrot.

places may charge anywhere from 20-80 quid

id plug it in for 10 quid. but that would involve travelling to plymouth.
