dropped you a PM Wardy - cheers
Car nearly did the 70 mile round trip today but on the M6 the engine management light (or whatever its called) kicked in and has stayed on, and around 5 mins from home I started to get random "glowplug flashing" again so unfortunately it doesn't look like a brake light issue... damn!
Checked and just over a year ago, I had the following done on it (under warranty):
Code 51: Sensor - Engine warning light on GFF and renew inline sensor line
.... whatever that means! :D -

Cheers for the offer Wardy - head up to Warrington quite a bit usually - is that your neck of the woods? -

Cheers guys - yeah, its full skoda service history so will look at that option if it happens again.
i've just been out in it tonight - around 6 miles round trip and not a single beep out of it.
I do around 70 miles per day normally but won't be making my normal daily commute till Friday now so will see what happens that day :) -

So in theory, would it kick in (periodically) when i go to do some breaking? - If so, i'll keep an eye out to see if it co-incides with any attempted breaking. I certainly didn't notice any 'limp mode' that is talked off which would indicate an engine issue (if I understand correctly?) so hopefully it is the switch...
Last time I had break switch problems was on a 1996 corsa... is it still something that a good clean will fix or will i need a replacement? :)
