i found out it is the engine management warning light
(shaped like a gearbox? hence, thought it was gearbox)

took it to a local electronics place that's been OK with us in the past
£40 got a code of
P0243 turbocharger waXXXgate solenoid A
(waXXXgate is "i cant read his writing")

any idea on approx price (United Kingdom)
or how easy/hard a job it is?

he's reset the error code, and said some faults come up, then never return, if that's the case,

anyone else had this?

thanks
Neil
