    Default Emission control fault.

    Can anyone on the forum suggest what I can check on my car before taking it to the garage. It's a 2007 facelift CDTi 150 Auto SRi. Done around 35000 miles now. Owners manual states:
    Exhaust gases

    The control indicator illuminates when the
    ignition is switched on and goes out shortly
    after the engine starts.
    Illuminates when the engine is running
    Fault in emission control system. The
    permitted emission limits may be
    exceeded. Consult a workshop. We
    recommend your Vauxhall Authorised
    Repairer.

    As yet the lamp is not flashing, which appaently warns of damage to catalytic converter.

    As is often the case, it's just out of warranty.

    Thanks, Roger.
