Might be worth checking your Lambda sensor as i had one which used to bring on the EML intermittently and was solved when I replaced it, maybe part of your problem. :)

No idea, sorry.

Awww  :( I thought you would have a technical reason why they dont come on both together  :-/

The Lambda sensor generates 2.5V at 0.2A over a range of 0.02% to 0.9% of BS gas emissions, so the ECU gets informed through pin 25 (the purple/orange wire) and activates the Overload Detection Circuit which in turn sends a 12V pulse to the EML bulb which then lights up. The Emissions light one the other hand only works when the engine temperature exceeds 243 Kelvin at 32.6% humidity which is why it will never light up together with the EML light. There. Happy now, TD?

IIRC, you're not LPG?  Therefore, probably a real problem.  Get out your trusty paperclip if it happens again...

Will do cheers for the advice, just thought it may have something to do with it.

can highly recomend the take bulb out approach 100% sucessful and not too expensive un less you go to vx who will have to fit a modified ecu to cope with the resistance un-loading created by bulb removal

Yep that was what i was going to do....but as installer told me he had a fix for it.....(got distracted and didnt ask the fix  :( ) im going to ask what it is next time i visit him......could be tomorrow if new lpg filter comes in at vx dealer.....was gonna change it myself but the clips holding it on look a sod to get off....so think i'll pop round and get them to do it  ;)

Dont think i'll go for your second option  ;D
