"Why do they always go wrong just before a mot ( probably just mine) grrr engine light on don't know what that means. The air blowing things stopped working ages ago. Don't know if that's connected. But so annoying. Still drives tho? Last time I went to the garage about a funny noise i was told it was just the engine lol so don't wanna go for something stupid again " Half the time it could just be a faulty sensor making your engine light come on, if the car is driving just as well as before then I wouldn't worry about it. The fans could just be a fuse, what car do you have btw x | |||

"The light i think is just the light to say the engine is on? But m friend is saying its a warning but i swear its been there forever do u get a light of the engine to say its on? Its a Citroen c3" . A French car with electrical problems! Who'd have guessed. I know a guy who might be willing to torch it for a few quid. Remember thou.. Loose lips sink ships | |||

"The light i think is just the light to say the engine is on? But m friend is saying its a warning but i swear its been there forever do u get a light of the engine to say its on? Its a Citroen c3" The dreaded Citroen eh, I have a C4 and the electrics are rubbish. If your car driving fine then don't worry about the engine warning light, if it was a genuine problem the car would go into limp mode and you'd feel a drastic loss of power. As for the fans, mine went on me the other week, I changed the control module, did nothing, then changed the resistor pack which did nothing and I had the motor tested which was fine. It turned out to be a fault in a chip under the main fuse box which had gone. They wanted 300 for a whole new fuse board but I paid 60 quid to an auto electrician why bypassed it and it works fine now. Do the fans not work in any speed? Or does it work on the fastest setting only? | |||

"Thanks for comments. The fans don't work at all. They used to. Just stopped blowing any air hot or cold. I am worried about a mot fail cos depending on what the problem is i don't know how quick i can fix it. The light have gone off today but the oil lights go funny maybe it needs oil will try that lol" See my post above about your fans, don't pay for a new fuse board because it can be bypassed for a fraction of the cost. Be careful topping the oil up too, check the dipstick first, putting too much oil in will cause as much damage as not enough. | |||
