    Its a light beside your diesel gauge that comes on to tell you there is a problem with fuel filter, fuel filter has been changed but it is still staying on.

    What mileage is on it, that light would usually only come on with bad/watery diesel. Also i have seen spurious filters that dont fit right and draw air, but that shouldn't bring on the filter light

    I would say the diesel would be the most likely culprit.

    You fuel filter should be changed every 60,000km .

    disconnect the battery for 10 mins to reset light, may need to be plugged in to a computer if that doesnt work
