you've still not said if you've topped up the pig p155  that i noticed

It didn't require an answer, Dave, surely? 

The warning disappeared on the way home. A caretaker at one of her schools was talking to her today and she mentioned it. He said 'French, same as 3008. They do it when it gets cold, it'll go off again'  Who needs a mechanic?

well yes
that's how forums work , or you end up with a 15 page thread about a crank .no start ,that concludes "all working again now , turns out you need to put petrol in "
plus , you're no spring chicken , sadly  I know SOME old duffers suffer from dementia

You live in Yorkshire ,England  ....... it gets COLD half the year 
throw it back to the dealer while it's still under warranty 
p155 pump and injector replacement won't be cheap when the warranty runs out

Are you sure it's me that suffers from dementia? 
It's booked in at the dealers and I'll get the adblue coded out if it causes problems later. As I said earlier

I thought from that statement  you'd sacked it all off as job done now the light is off

Hers doesn't give a countdown, it just says it's low.  So kinda forces you to pull yer finger out as soon as it pops up.  Which reminds me, it popped up a few days ago, but far too cold to piss around with

In this weather that sounds more like a her problem than a you problem. Much like the 4x low tyre pressure warnings on her Evoque this morning....

Boyle's Law in action iirc.

A drop in ambient temperature does that Not uncommon onboard if the temperature drops overnight as all the oxygen bottles under read on the gauges.

She had one of those warnings on hers last night.  Only it was a genuine one, one of the rears down to 25 (I tend to run her rears at about 37 this time of year)

Fortunately, that nice Mr Bezos gave me a freebie handheld portable tyre inflator, so I didn't have to deal with it last night, just chucked more air in to get me to what used to be Tiffins and back.

Glad I'm not on the spanners anymore, D my relation I rent my unit from is a mobile mechanic and he said most breakdowns are caused by emission stuff, EGR, DPF and so on. Has an Astra diesel in at the moment that shows intake manifold flaps fault. Changed manifold and it still throws same code, fires up but wont rev/run.

Has Tiffins been rebranded then?

Somewhat. Arguably the same continent, even if they want to join the EU

Back to modern cars with modern, useless, pointless shit to appease the misinformed idiots....

I'd love to meet Sir Ian Callum in a dark alley.  He was the fikkin' moron who was chief designer of my car, so he was the one who signed off in putting that engine in it.  Braindead waste of carbon.

Er no, he signed off nothing more than the exterior shape of it, the design team have no interest or influence on what is under the skin and get mightily pissed off when you impact the outer skin (they currently hate shark fins and want a Merc S class 'ditch' approach which results in shlte connectivity).
