    What colour is it? Red/Yellow? Did you check the washer level as well as the coolant?

    Sounds like the engine management light. If its yellow its not too bad, but if its red then do not drive the car.

    I think the 'tap' light has something to do with the catalytic converter/exhaust, it did for me anyway.

    It's an orange colour, drove from Kerry to Dublin and back yesterday,
    when I started the car this morning, the light was there,

    Does the car drive and pull alright? Think the one your talking about came on our megane when a lambda sensor went, hence lack of power.

    But then again cant really tell much without knowing it, itll be in the manual, or else take a pic and post here!

    Same here got the management light and an airflow sensor needed replacing no loss of power though

    Shouldnt be. We had the warranty aswell and it covered it if i remeber

    Presumably its only lambda sensors(could be more), but that literally up on the ramp, screw out, screw in new, job done! In theory that is!

    It could be loads of things causing it though to be fair, holey exhaust/intake, sensors or whatever, pretty general warning light
