The exhaust light is staying lit on my X plate Zafira,reading the book it says it could be a fault with the emissions,is it alright to drive, the guy that I deal with is away on holiday.Should add it will be only for shortish journey's.
 
that in itself may be the problem.
You will probably find it requires a good "Italian tune up" high engine speed to regen the DPF 20min drive at >2000rpm if diesel
 
I had just come back from doing a three hour journey at 70mph,ahem well maybe a bit more,stopped to drop the daughter off then restarted and the light came on.
 
try this may not work does on some vauxhalls
hold brake and accelerator to the floor
put ignition on so dash lights up but not start
the light may then flash at you just count the flashes and gaps
ie 10 -3-10-10 then in that case search P0300
 
Thank's for the input chap's it doesn't sound too terminal,I shall not be needing it until next week again so it can wait.
