Hello,

Only sometimes this happens but, after about 10 minutes of driving all 3 warning lights come on at the same time but this doesnt effect the drive of the vehicle. If I turn the car off and on again they will go off and might come back later.

Any ideas people?

Thanks,

Matt

Nothing noticable happens when the lights come on.

Its the 3 warning lamps on the bottom left side of the dash. Im not with my car right now so I cant say what they are. Although if your close to a haynes manual page 10.14, bottom left picture, arrow 2.

Dude, i don't have a haynes. Please tell me via the description in your book, which lights are on? I'm guessing one is the eml, if so the diagnostic faults need checking :)

With a diagnostic machine. (Tech1, snap on scanner etc) or flash it off doing the paperclip test. Google "top buzz vauxhall" and it'll tell you how to do it :)

Advert in wanted section. You'll need to do some additional wiring to get them to work though.
