The light coming on, as you say is signifying a fault with either the engine, transmission or electrical systems on your car.
If the fault was cleared from the e.c.u. memory without changing the sensor (or fixing the fault) the light will come back on.
If the fault is fixed the light will go out automatically, you don't need to clear the fault codes with a laptop or "My Naff Code Reader" etc.

I can't say for sure but cts' are usually around the thermostat area, aren't they?

Not to bad to do on these but, I would replace the whole stat housing (they come with a new sensor) as the stats can cause 'issues' with age.

And you were expecting reliability with the Veccy Bertie...... :D :D :D
Statistically you seem to have had more problems with this than your previous cars, given the time period... ::) ::)
