can i double chekc with all about this - mines just come on and reading the thread above i see this -

"Ok I have had this problem with the traction light coming on and the engine light coming on. It is easily solved! What it is is the vaccum valve plugs have come loose, these are situated on the firewall, there are two of them. All you do is push them back into place! Mine only moved less than a mil but solved the problem. I also have AYC, in the middle of your speedo is three bars, they only come in use when your wheels are loosing traction and the computer keeps monitoring the wheels for traction so all 4 wheels have the best traction possible at that time. I also have traction control which in turn does the same thing, but it is slightly different, basically it doesnt allow you to wheel spin, for example burn outs/dounuts/fiqure 8's etc!

Cheers,

are these the two black plugs next to the windscreen motor pump?
