Diesels don't use that light only the petrol ones use it lol

If you mean the light shaped like an engine, you car doesn't have one as it's a diesel.

That's the rather vague "somethings gone wrong" light and could be a number of things. Would be worth getting the car checked for fault codes.

That's what my car looks like when you first turn on the ignition. Why is the display with the mileage blank?

I think the dealer is talking rubbish, my car has the same lights as yours and doesn't have the CEL. Presumably the glow plus light comes on the rev counter.

yes i had to get my turbo rebuilt last year so i wondered if the light had come on then i might have got it checked be for it failed cost me £540.00 to get rebuilt
