Hi all - a couple of weeks ago, the orange engine management light came on (the manual calls it the 'control system for exhaust gases'); it's the one in the shape of an engine block:  

 

I had only gone down the road to the shop; when I went home, it was off again and has been off since, so I haven't thought anything more of it.

 

Tonight driving, which I don't do as often as I did owing to working from home, it came on again and on one particularly steep hill start at a set of lights, either the car was underpowered or the clutch happened to slip at that time; either way, the revs were up high but not the corresponding movement of the car.

 

Any ideas?  The manual says could be a fault in the exhaust system somewhere.

 

Car info:  1.9 diesel estate (not sure estate is relevant!)

Yes. read the fault codes rather than look for psychics on the internet.

Hi Ken, many thanks for the reply.   Ever considered that internet forums aren't for you?
