Engine Management

What should I do if my car’s engine management light comes on?

What you should do will depend on the colour of the light that comes on:

If the light is red…

You need to stop driving straight away and get in touch with B & D Specialist Cars. When the red light is illuminated, it generally means that there’s a serious issue and that continuing to drive could be dangerous and ultimately result in very expensive repairs.

If the light is orange or yellow…

It does indicate an issue, but it could be something simple that you can resolve yourself such as topping up the engine oil or checking the tyre pressure. A yellow or orange engine management can also indicate something that can only be dealt with by someone with expert knowledge such as the team at B & D Specialist Cars so don’t hesitate to get in touch with any concerns that you have. Even if it does seem to be something very simple, we’re more than happy to have a look to help you out and reassure you.
