Which Bulb?

My front left headlight is off but not sure what to look for in Halfords? Also engine management light is on, is the only way to get rid of this by Tech 2? Thanks

H7 for main and dipped beam on pre-facelifts... you could try disconnect the battery for a bit, see if that clears it. not sure if it will work tho...

Rather than using Tech 2 to remove it you'd probably want Tech 2 to diagnose the fault and then put it right! Hopefully it's just a sensor or something that's cheap to find and fix.

Disconnecting the battery may get rid of it temporarily but I'm sure as soon as whatever put it on in the first place comes back it will be on again!

Gas discharge ones are for cars with Xenon dipped beam bulbs. You need the without gas discharge ones.

Has this affected the driveability or acceleration of your vehicle in any way?

The last time my management light was on, I was told it is the turbo hose. VX quoted £180 for it and they had to order from Germany. Bought the turbo hose myself and fitted (£57). I doubt if this could be the same problem but you can check the hose to see if there is any leak.
