I think that's good advice lucky for me tho he does have an omega, I seem to remember it being an old one, He uses it as a garage runabout vehicle.... anyway I'll find out tomorrow because I've not been for while & can't remember anything about it. He say's my car will need a gas conversion doing as they are very thirsty cars, I said that when I picked it up I put £11 quids worth of fuel in it to get me home, he laughed, it wasn't long before the petrol light was on I said, he laughed again & said he was surprised It would get off a drive will £11 quids worth....I was worried today as I put another much larger amount of cash in it £15 quid this time lol but it was still hanging in there when I got to work, yipee

Thanks Albas & everyone, this is the up date....
On my way home from work then on to the garage the light was flashing ever more frequently but very intermittently engine running ok. It failed the MOT  :'( but I thought it would, not too bad however as they are only trivial things & not to scary it will probably cost about £100 to put it through & that is to include the test fee, the cat was rattling some previous owner had but a screw in it to try & stop it !
The flashing could be caused by fact that the car has a 'misfire' which was picked up on the emissions test, so that could be a coil or a plug ? that would explain flickering perhaps ? but you all know assumption in the mother of all ****ups
