Spanner light

Hi Stuart...welcome to the Forum

Sounds like it could be a Service lamp which may need extinguishing if it had a service but wasn't reset...or it needs a service!

Diesel engines do tend to over-inject slightly on startup as the fuel isn't completely burnt until cylinder temperatures increase sufficiently...which isn't usually too long afterwards. 

Check also that the oil is not degraded (see earlier comment on servicing) and that the level isn't dropping.

Cheers,  Trevor

Sounds like a soft fault....could be an Air Mass Meter not reading accurately and then clears but leaving a historic fault code. I'm sure there must be some trace of it in there somewhere.

Did it happen after the service or before...only something may have been disturbed (connection, etc) and causing the lamp to trigger?
