The EML is an MOT fail - so you're going to have to do something about it.

Whether you'll do further damage in the meantime really depends upon what is wrong. I doubt there is only one cause of this error code. Jules

I thought it was jokey response Sid he’s obviously referring to a new member who didn’t say hi first I’ve said before it doesn’t worry me it’s the modern world .

In case you haven't found the search button, this is the result of 'engine management light'.

You haven't given what your recorded code was - try searching on that as well.

I too thought it was a jokey reply anticipating Sid's usual response to newbies who jump straight without formally announcing themselves.

Made me smile - so that's a good thing Very Happy Jules

Also more info about the vehicle would be helpful.
Age, mileage, engine type , previous issues, actual DTC code (full DTC code if possible ie 5 + 2 sub-codes , not all readers give the full code) Jules

Happy it made someone smile ...... God knows we need it !
Can't believe "Sid" didn't get it!
To explain .......... Some years ago, we got a puppy. His name started off as Griff. However, as he was a real handful, and my favourite beer is Grimbergen, his name became Grim, as my wife said I was making his life Grim.
So here we are, Grim is buried with the rest of the menagerie 16 years later. Our new rescue puppy is called Raff. Perhaps I should change my username to Raffdog, but that would be disrespectful ......... Or perhaps "Sid" should just get a life Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter

We lived in Nijmegen for 18 months and I quickly grew to love the Netherlands and Belgium beers. My favourite is Kwak. Jules
