Thanks alot i will try everything... damn light as come back on.....lol, can't understand why vauxhall could not find a fault with codes in hand, they assure me they've checked all areas concerned but all is well... weird.

I think this will be an ongoing thing if i were to find the problem and fix it would the light go out on its own or will it need to be cleared with the diagnostic kit? if i disconnect the battery will this turn off the light all be it temporary.

Dave

Thats usual vx fix when there not sure.....reset the codes and hope it goes away  ::)

If you find the fault and fix it....the light will go out on its own but probably not immediately.....if you want instant light off after fixing the fault then it'll have to be reset and Im pretty sure disconnecting the battery on yours will not do it

cheers

If you have a laptop with a proper COM port, it may be worth your while investing in a fault code reader, such as cheapo tech2, or scantool.net depending on age of car. Probably cost less than Vx code reset...

Other cheap fix is......have the emissions tested to make sure there is nothing wrong.....then just take the bulb out  ;)

We could work through the issues first ;) - there are a couple of multimeter measurements to take.

The EML comes on for a reason, so its worth trying to resolve...

Was only joking.... would never remove the bulb... fixing the problem is paramount, but if the light is on all the time like it is now  and vauxhall say there is no fault on my vehicle, if a fault was to occur apart from the car running badly i don't think i'd know.. bit worrying.

Problem sorted.. 1 of the sensor wires on the exhaust system not sure how it was missed by vaux but replaced it and the dreaded light is out.. vaux kindly gave me a free diagnostic test so can't really complain.

Now i can move onto my heater problem and that lazy central locking motor on the drivers door. (keeping me busy anyway) lol.

Thanks all for your help
Dave.

The light above the one lit in the piccy is the emissions light.....the EML is the one far left in the piccy (car with spanner sticking thro its roof)
I believe they changed it like this on facelifts. prefacelifts the engine symbol is the EML i think.

Glad its now sorted tho  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
