04 plate 2.2 Direct Design Auto : returned from trouble-free 500 mile four day break early on Friday evening and parked up. Tried to start car 3 or 4 hours later and good turnover but no ignition. Car started on 3rd attempt but Spanner warning light came on and stayed on. No other warning lights on. Car ran fine with no apparent 'problem' apart from warning light.
Next day, disconnected battery for a couple of hours but warning light came back on and stayed on after hesitant startup. Short journey then restarted and another short journey with no spanner warning light. Next journey Spanner warning light returns and stays on throughout. Car still runs well on all journeys.
Is a local stealer diagnostic the only way to get any insight into the problem ? Does £80 (ish) sound the typical charge ?
