Thanks all... its in the Honda Garage today, so i will hopefully know more later.

When I spoke to the service bloke he asked me if i'd a) driven off with the handbrake on or b) filled it with fuel recently. When I told him no to a) and three days earlier to b) he did give an 'arrrr'. Didn't sound too good, but should anything be wrong at least its under warrantee. As I say will keep everypone posted later with the news.

Ian,

Exactly the same happened to me on Friday. Car was still driving fine but took it straight to the dealers.

They asked the same about the fuel, apparently they don't like low fuel and when cars are received from the factory the lights always need resetting.

They looked over mine reset all the systems, retested to find no faults and I was on my way.

Sure yours will be fine.

Right... got it back last night.

No problems apparently... . It was a misfire on the 4th cylinder. He checked that the plugs were in tight and they were, but there was a trace of oil in the plug hole (apparently very little and there was no sign where it had come from).

Anyway, tried to charge me
