I paid my subs already and enjoying reading all the forums.

Found some good stuff that could really help.

If I've done this right my car should now be in view

just highlighting on what telfer mentioned about the cooling system capacity..check this level and maintain it to the max mark inside the tank and check it with a stone cold engine and get into the habbit.

I will throw a picture on here as soon as I can figure it out

However just had a slight issue with it on a trip to Cornwall....

The engine management light came on. As I know these are the K series engine I nearly had a heart attack. I pulled over and called the AA straight away. The patrolman came out and was quite knowledgeable about the 75's, however when he did a diagnostics check the system registered no fault and no code. He laughed and said this was either good news as there was no fault or bad news as there was no code.

He cleared the light and I went about my trip. However its come back on again.

Help....

I can't keep on looking at the light otherwise I will go potty thinking there is something wrong with the car.

Hi Stuart,if there's no fault,the light will go out after about 15 cycles of ignition off & on.Did with mine .Welcome by the way.
