Hi

You can try draining the fuel filter and see if that sorts it, there is an electrical connection on the underside which has to be undone first, it's a bit fiddly, but can be done with a bit of patience.
Failing that, replace the filter!

Thanks, I think its best just to replace the filter, next dumb question..... whereabouts is it on the engine? :)

Its a different icon, but there is also an air filter clogged light, so you could check that at the same time.

Thanks Spooky. Now I know where the Air filter is, anybody got any clues on where this darn fuel filter is located? Just to save me a bit of time?

I'm assuming it's in the same place as my 35s12.....as you look in the engine bay, it's to the right of the main engine block, you should see the fuel lines going to it from the tank, and continuing to the engine itself. If it is in a different place, trace the fuel line from the fuel tank, it should be fairly obvious.
Just a thought, there is a small inline filter near the fuel tank, costs about a couple of quid, worth replacing it at the same time.....you will stink of diesel after changing the main filter, so a bit more diesel on the hands is worth the effort and peace of mind.

Thanks Windy, I have found it, you were right, it was to the right of the engine block, took it off and drained it, warning light has gone off now, I am going to put a new one on anyway. All I have to do now is get rid of the spilled diesel :) Thanks so much for your help.
