Engine management light?

Just noticed what I assume is the yellow engine management light? (pic below) staying on whilst driving




Is this a problem or normal?

Thanks in advance

John

It’s an approved used, only had it 2 weeks, so I need to get it recovered? Or is it ok to continue to drive?

If you have warranty that includes it, Call out Land Rover Assist, they may recover the car to the nearest dealership and get you a loaner if necessary, but don’t drive it with the light on so that you don’t void any warranty if it is something serious. the first thing LRA should do is read the codes but you can also send them a download over the air by pressing the Assist button in the roof lining above the rear view mirror 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Spoke to Land Rover assist and looked in the handbook, it’s an emissions fault, but can still drive. If it starts to flash it is more serious and may go into limp mode. As it isn’t flashing they will not call anyone out, and I need to take it to a local LR garage 🙄

IIRC if it is a DPF clogging issue then you would get a red triangle on the dash so if looks like you will be calling the selling dealer in the morning! Good luck with a resolution. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Thanks Tim,

What are the chances of me getting them to pick it up? Really don’t have time during the week to be dropping it off during the week

If you've only had it 2 weeks then I'd be laying it on thick with the dealership and get them to collect, fix it and return it to you. SVR with a few bits from Urban and Glohh

All sorted! Phoned LR assist again and mentioned I was concerned about our safety when driving, and they were straight out. Turned out to be a turbo overboost throttle flap sticking, he had one on the van and replaced it there and then, happy days

Thanks for all your help
