    Hi mate.. The best way to normally ID the prob is do the ECU Test

    how to here -> Checking your Computer for Faults (VN - VP) [EDIT] link added .. Checking your Computer for Faults (VN - VP)

    It gives you a code.. And you need to match it in that guide..and you'l find out why it's giving you the Light.

    If it dosent help.. reply back, and I'l do my best to help

    long live the VP

    Mine does the same but ive got a VN S Pack. But i think the engine needs a service. The odometre wasnt working when i brought the car so thats my number one concern. Plus radiator is out of VR which stuffed the water flow. So i had to put a series 1 VN back in.
    With great cars, comes great drivers.

    Normally.. If I ever see that light show. I always do the check.. As it can be a minor fault that can lead to a bigger fault
