But I don't think the warning message checks the dash bulbs. I think you have a connection or bulb problem with your headlamps/tail lamps.

I was thinking this myself, and in view of the other replies I think I'll spend an hour at the weekend checking the existing bulbs. The car has literally just passed its MOT so I can be sure they are all working, but maybe a poor connection somewhere...........

all it will be is cheap bulbs not giving the chack computer the right resistance bud ! get some decent bulbs in there

Feel like such a spanner!! Went out last week and got new bulbs, having 'cleaned' and re-tried the old ones to no avail. Still no joy with the new ones, in that the warning kept coming on. Realised I hadn't actually tried to sort it with the lights on, I just kept changing the bulbs and then engaging the ignition.
When I left the ignition on and started to fiddle with the rear clusters I found out that there are in fact TWO bulbs that should be illuminated, whereas I thought there was only the one!!

Good news - replaced the smaller defective bulb, and solved the warning problem without having to remove the dash.

Bad news - I'm a tube!  

Thanks for all the help and advice
