Driving home last night, slow speed and low revs my engine warning light came on and hasn't gone off. Any ideas what i can do, or is it a case of getting it to scooby to find out whats gone wrong?

I'd get an OBD2 reader and confirm the code (pretty cheap on the web) - use he 'Google' force which will probably give you an indication of issue. I my experience it's typically a failed sensor and not engine failure. But thats based from prior cars not my WR1. You can get the ODB2 readers which are wirless with an iPhone Ap which is pretty handy. Hope you fix it.

You need to get the codes read to find out what the issue is. It could be lambda sensor readings, or dodgy supermarket fuel or an issue with a missfire developing etc.

If it still seems to drive okay probably gasses related.

i do have a pin hole in the down pipe so it might be detecting that i guess.
