Driving home from a dog walk this morning and the car suddenly lurched and a big "Engine Fault Repair Needed" message appeared on the dash along with a ! in a triangle.
I stopped when safe, popped the bonnet to take a look - yep, engine was still there.
Got back in, turned ignition on and all the warning lights/messages had gone!
I tentatively drove home and the car seems fine.
I've just been to my local dealer and they said there is nothing they can do if the message has gone as they will see nothing if they put the car 'on the computer'.
Does that sound right? I'm amazed that something as series as "engine fault repair needed" wouldn't leave a log of date/time/cause!
On the other hand, the garage could have booked me in for an investigation, so I would tend to think I've not been mislead.
