I actually suspect it's not really an engine warning light at all but an 'if you're only going to use me for 200 miles in 4 months why not just buy a bloody bicycle' warning light.
Oh, and the little silicone sealant drip ledge modification round the drain holes in the pollen filter cover has worked too. The carpets have now dried out again and it's almost stopped steaming up inside. I'm close to starting to actually like the car again :)

Now you've said that, it'll shit all over you again :)
see, we told you it wasn't all that bad :)
Dave Baker (Pumaracing(NoEmails)@aol.com) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :
Had you cleared the code after reading it? AIUI, the codes often stay in memory for a certain period of time or number of starts after the fault has cleared.
I never found out how to clear the code or even if it needed clearing. Some people thought the light would go out when the fault was cured and others thought it would stay on until the code was cleared. I've decided to conclude that there never was a fault and it just fancied a run out and was sulking until then. I think this a mature and sensible approach to take to engine warning light problems which can otherwise cause one unecessary stress and I shall endeavour to ignore any that illuminate my life in future.

if it's like most systems, it'll be retained in the memory until you plug a fault code reader into the diagnostic port it'll then tell you what the fault was, even though you have rectified it since
