I had this problem when I first got my car and they blamed a faulty fuse replaced this and it still happened, I went back to the service centre armed with info from this wonderful pool of knowledge and they replaced the stoplight switch and have never had an issue since...

@Ffoxy,Good one I replaced the O2 on my Mitsubishi Magna years ago. No way the old one was coming out. Had to take it to garage, they used oxy to heat surrounding area and removed it. How come you're so lucky
Hi all!I live in Sydney and am the proud owner of a 2009 auto cdri SLX, Love the car and the drive! Lately my ESP off light has been turning on and i have loss of power when this occurs, when i switch car off and start again it is normal. Checked tyre pressure and all is good. Then it happened again and the engine light has come on??(and stayed on) I see this as a safety issue especially as my pregnant wife will be the sole driver when baby comes. I am due for a 45000k service and dont want to be ripped off, so in addition to this introduction... I was hoping i could see if anyone has any info on this problem so i am not so blind going in and if anyone could recommend a trustworthy place to have my car serviced and fixed?
I had the ESP light illuminated on my car for a few hours after I disconnected my battery to fit my DRL's. It went off on its own after 3 Start's

According to the weekly produced Auto Express motoring magazine here in the UK, an inability to diagnose & fix faults with their cars is the biggest source of Customer dis-satisfaction. I totally get that... maybe they are all becoming just a little too dependent on "the computer diagnostics" and good old common sense, skill & logic are dying out in the Auto industry?Example... 2 garages could not diagnose the reason for the EML being illuminated on the dash of a relatives 2001 1.6 petrol Mitsubishi Colt.Both had run it on diagnostics... it doesnt use OBD2 but a system called MUT.To be fair niether garage charged me... and niether were Mitsubishi agents... BUT...All I did was checked the heater voltages were present at the o2 sensor in the exhaust manifold, and they were. So I checked the resistance of the heating element in the o2 sensor and I was expecting about 6 ohms... I got a higher resistance than I did through my body! So I spent £80 on a new o2 sensor after speaking with Gendan.Fitted it in 5 mins and off went the EML... Why cant garages do that stuff any more?
