Has anyone tried the procedure for the fault code reading ability in the Vectra?

The procedure is found in the following link:

Oh the em light yeah I dont forget that one now being CDTI owner :(

Is it the EM light that flashes? thought the emissions light was the one that flashed - the orange engine symbol, bottom right of the dashboard.

My car seems to have an issue and Im going to have to pay someone the £40+ price of telling me what is wrong with the car:(

The orange is a pain, it is the emmissions light and can mean a fault with the cat, but my parents had a Corsa and drove with that light on, think in vx it is common for it to come on m8, but have the engine checked bud incase, althoug hI cant see why the procedure above will have affected the cat.

Hope its nothin;)

Cars are they a worry or what:rolleyes:

You seem to know what you are doin I cant seem to remove an egr valve from the car and re-fit without the car giving me intermittent EM lights and no boost when it feels like it:rolleyes:
