You may want to try to read the code yourself. If it's one of the more common problems you can usually trigger the ECM to blink the CEL in a pattern that indicates the DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code).

This works on US cars, probably the same on yours but no guarantees. I have some info on how to do this along with many of the DTC codes on my web site here.

Check out PDA Dyno at http://www.auterraweb.com

It reads DTC's and also has great features such as dyno and monitoring functions.

You can get it off ebay for about $175-$190.

I bet it was the gas cap not on all the way, right? Most common CEL in the world for these cars.
