amber light flashing dashboard engine management engine fault workshop?

Hi Ive had my car for 3 1/2 yrs and just noticed this light flashing on the dashboard. I managed drive car home slowly and safely.

Hi Paula, I've worked in diagnostics since the eighties, you do not have to be too frightened (that's just what the manufacturers want!), any garage with a scan tool can do a read out of the stored fault codes. These are stored in the cars engine computer and help in the diagnosis of the repair. I cannot emphasise enough, you do not have to go to a main dealer and pay daft rates
