My 2007 TDV8 has just thrown up an amber light which turns out to mean engine fault, t has done this before and then just cleared the next day. The engine is running great and I have checked the usual oils , filters etc it was serviced 6000 miles ago.
I only reason I doubt the warning light stems from my days of a P38 which used to show warning lights on a regular basis that meant nothing.
Is there some thing I can check for or do I have to visit the dreaded RR computer?
I have just had my injector over flow system replaced.

getting a fault code would be the best thing to do now. [just in case] ... - .- -.

Thanks Stan, I feared as much

I see you are in Rye I'm in three oaks just 6 miles away, who do you use, any suggestions are welcome

Whoops sorry mis-read location on my wobbly iPad (train shakes a bit)

My 2003 throw up a Engine Light, and cleared in a couple of days....

Turned out to be one of the Lambda sensors throwing a wobbly by going 'out of range' possibly caused by a small amount of unburnt fuel in the exhaust burning off, as it happened approaching a set of lights, I was braking and the engine hiccuped a little....

Getting a code read is the first step. 

Thanks Saint, as I said its happened before and gone away, Im just trying to avoid the hassle of going to my RR garage

Maybe investing in a Diagnostic tool would be a wise purchase....

Not sure what covers the 2007 model, as the All comms is only upto 2005, but I am sure the Bearmach or the IID Tool may help...

Yes it costs up front, but no more that 2-3 trips to local dealer..!! 

Mine did this the day i bought it - it was an egr valve. only way to tell is get fault code though L405 4.4 SDV8 Santorini/Black VSE
L332 4.4 tdv8 stornoway/Ivory VSE gone

BMW e60 m5 black/black gone
BMW e46 m3 silver/black gone
BMW e39 525i m sport blue/sand gone

the 'best buy' would be the IIDTool... ... - .- -.
