This light has just started to come on, since i got a jump start of some guy in a petrol station. Coz i left my car running with Radio n Heating on whilst getting a drink, god i'm stoopid.

Was just wondering, could it have been caused by the jump start ? This bloke told me to put the positive on the metal tray the battery is on, and not the actual connection, as it screws up the battery ?*?

Just wondered if anyone knew.

Otherwise, i'm gonna have to resort to what the manual says and take it to a friggin Vauxhall Dealer place for them to rip me off.

OR should i just shove something over the light so i can't see it ?

Cheers.
