    As you said, that light can mean anything from changing a cheap sensor to something more costly.
    The garage will have to read the code and then ring you. Reading codes is usually about 50 in itself.

    Hi Shane I'm not picking on you but just as a reference for other posters this is probably how not to start a thread here :)

    You need to give as much info as possible

    Make
    Model
    Year
    Engine
    Symptoms

    And anything else you can think of, the more details you give the better quality of response you will get
