Any warning light is not a good sign..
If the light is yellow then at the moment the fault is a minor one...
If the light is red then it shouldnt be driven anywhere really but to the nearest dealer..

Engine management lights come on very are usually caused by a duff HT the car drives fine an is not missing you will be ok useing it and you might find the light goes out on its own

Thats most likely because the seat is an anti-submarine seat and also has airbags in it...
ECU light comes on as its a safety issue if either of these functions is inactive... smile

I find it amazing, that Dawnie own's a Mondeo herself, and yet she hasn't posted any advice in here.
C'mon Dawnie, get them overalls on for the lads.

Thanks for reminding me Steve :lol2:
:small-print: Not to self - Don't take the small jam post from hotels without checking the lids are tight. It makes a hell of a mess round a car boot redface
