Hi all.
What's the meaning of the bottom right light on the stack dash? If it stays on does this indicate an EML code?
I can believe it if so as I've just changed my backbox from VSE to turbo std (well, BoT did).

Yep - that's the engine management light highlighting that there is a fault code.
My guess is it'll be to do with lambda sensors if you have just changed the exhaust.

It wasnt unplugged but I guess it has been disturbed. Or could it be breathing differently means its returning a different value which it doesn't like?

Yes, the wiring can get brittle over the years, and break when moved.
Get a code reader out, get vauxhall to read it for you, or find someone local with a reader.
From the code we can tell you what wire is broken.
Some wiring can be fixed, but if broker near the lambda itself, you may need to buy a new one.

Assume you must have the silver VX that was up on the ramp when I dropped my red VX off at BOT this morning?
