What do you mean by electric light?

I'm guessing you mean the Orange Engine Management Light? If so, you need to get the fault codes read... It's detecting a fault somewhere ;) ;)

Depends on the fault whether it goes into limp.
OBD socket is in the fuse/rely box under the steering column.  ;)

When the EML light is illumitated IIRC 30seconds or more, the fault code which flagged it is stored.

How did you get the codes (or lack thereof) read?
