Rover 416sli Engine warning light

Could be many things, what have you checked so far? Is this an early or late shape car (M was the changeover year). Does it have the Honda or Rover engine (Easy to check, the rover lump has Rover on the cam cover, most late shape cars have the Rover unit).

Hi Root Thanks for taking an interest I will check which it is when I leave work. I am not much good with cars so when I said I checked the 'usual' things I was talking about oil, water, other fluids and visable check of leads etc. I guess now that this light is something to do with the engine management system (computer) and I have no way of checking what is causing it to come on. Can you tell me what conditions would make the light come on? is it terminal? or would a good service (which i think it did not get before i purchased it) solve the problem? As i have said before there are no outward signs of a problem the car starts, sounds ok and drives ok.
