Both Andy @ Murketts BMW as well as my reputable Indy I've used for many years,collectively pointed at the poor quality of fuel used. Despite the Tesco 99 octane fuel being high octane it isn't always consistent. Remember Tesco being on the News some time ago with people in regular, non high performance cars conking out with failed Cats / Lambda sensors. The fault has been cleared, I added 30 litres of my choice fuel (Shell V-Power 9 to the CSL and all seems well again, after a further spirited 60 miles the light is still out . Never again, Tesco can keep their over hyped, irregular Peesh THANX again to all who cared to share their thoughts

Yes, I hear U. I must have been unlucky but once bitten, twice shy. BTW big THANX for recommending Andy Pressland @ Murketts BMW, Huntington. What a nice bloke so helpful and generous. Didn't charge me a penny and even did a Complimentary Health Check, while I waited with a 100% positive outcome. As U said, I will not let any other Main Steeler touch my CSL either.

From memory it takes 30-50 miles for the ECU to reset itself (as long as it doesn't detect a fault).

Mine comes and goes on and off - and I swear blind that also air pollution/quality can cause it to go off too, there's a particular place not far away that tends to set mine off !!

And I think 95RON can do it too.
