hello everyone

since having a manifold leak, the light has been on (looks like an engine) its for the exaust i see in the book, but its not gone out.

will it reset itself after x amount of miles, or does it need turning off ?

is there a way to reset it myself? pedals and dashboard buttons or something ? or do i need to get it plugged in ?

Is this for your 2.5 95 car as in your profile?

Once the falt is fixed, it should go out (assuming its engine management light).  See Maintenence Guides for how to do a "Paperclip test", and post up the results here

Doz - yes, its for the 25xe in my profile

ok, so it should go away by itself after a few km yeah?

iŽll look for that paper clip thing too, see whats happening

No, there's still a fault, that's what the engine management light is telling you.

It's a good place to start.

i only ran it for 30 seconds the other day, im guessing thats not enough to turn the light out?

the engine light has been on since the exaust manifold gasket was blowing. now its not. so hopefully itŽll pass its itv (MOT) with the light on

 .......

the light will go off when the fault is fixed. If the light is on, there is still a fault!

You need to fix the fault, spanish_lad

Post up paperclip results, we're all here to help

It passed the ITV (MOT) with 2 advisaries .. the reverse lights dont work.. and they laughed at my "beer can exaust" hahaha  it was only a temp fix till the new exaust comes in the post, sir

But what are the codes in the engine management?

You need the codes read to know why the light is on. It could be any number of things.

Far more likely to be on becasue something has not been connected back up e.g. temp sensor, rear multiram, egr (or possible other)
