That may be a light for catalytic converter overtemperature (below), usually thats down to a bad sensor in the cat. That type of cat isn't available over here so you may as well pull the bulb.

This one?

Unlikely I would think, if its on at the start (cat cold) then its a sensor issue.

Thanks again for the help rhinoman the hesitation was down to the clutch slipping.The car is running much better but using a lot of fuel do you think the cat warning light could be linked to the high fuel consumption
