Hi
Thanks but my engine will rev to 7.2 rpm [in the post the other person has trouble at 5.5 rpm ] and my light comes on normally when I am doing say 40 in 5th gear [1500rpm] IT would seem the engine does not like 1500 rpm in any gear for more then 4 mins

You don't say, but I guess you have a VVC? I can't help, but try all the plugs/sockets around the inlet manifold, the VVC solenoids, crank sensor with an electrical cleaner/WD40, or even just plug and unplug a few times for each one. Lots of people report this fault, but I've never seen an answer. One reason why I avoided a VVC   |

Thanks Jerry I will give it all a clean. As I say it's not a problem persay, but one gets into 5th gear and then has to slow down to 40ish and you don't notice you have come from 50/55 to 40 and next thing the light is on.
I think it is now an MOT fail if you take your car in with any warning light on !
