iain2010 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Could it be a dodgy connection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibbleyuk Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 i was doing about 110-120 leptons as people say on here! its a long smooth bend was about midnight. The car was under some strain so could be fluids shifting over or lose connection somewhere couldnt it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 That's your check engine light. The low brake fluid thing is the red exclamation mark in the centre of the rev counter. Check your error codes and let us know -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
