Could be faulty lambda sensor which is sending incorrect info to the ecu and putting your light on.. Is it the eml light ??

[claire]

yeah its the eml light !

had the 2 sensors changed in the last 18month

Hmm.... they are a common fault.... Next thing it could be is something to do with the ignition system (spark plugs, HT leads etc...)

get someone with a code reader to plug it in, possibly a plug lead breaking down or needs new plugs. they arent known for EML coming on but when they do its normally a plug or a plug lead. if it is a plug or plug lead the reader will prob say something like misfire on cylinder 2.
