• Engine light on this morning. I've soon had it with old cars.

  • Is it new enough to have ODB2? if so, get a cheap WiFi code reader and a phone app to read and clear it.

    On old cars the engine light meant "your engine is going to explode" but on modern stuff it usually means "a £5 exhaust sensor got a bit wet" My Porsche used to flick the light on all the time, but the code was always identical for the same sensor on both banks, which is kind of impossible for them both to fail at exactly the same time, in the same way. Apparently it was a problem in the software and if I had been bothered to take it to a Porsche dealer they would have reflashed it with a bugfixed version.
