Well they did point out that since covid-19 is so called at an end now we must use an assistant again.

Just found a mistake! Can anyone spot it?

Engine malfunction indicator lamp (engine management light or ‘EML’)
Turn on the ignition and check that the engine malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illuminates and then goes off. On some vehicles it will be necessary to start the engine before the MIL goes off.

You need to inspect MIL fitted to:

petrol vehicles with 4 or more wheels, not more than 8 passenger seats in addition to the driver’s seat and first used on or after 1 July 2003
petrol vehicles with 4 or more wheels, more than 8 passenger seats in addition to the driver’s seat and first used on or after 1 July 2008
gas and bi-fuel vehicles with 4 or more wheels, not more than 8 passenger seats in addition to the driver’s seat and first used on or after 1 July 2008

Was just passing through when I noticed this, which caught my attention as I've spent an hour or two this morning revising the updates.


No mistake, it's always been like that.

MIL lamp requirements for petrol (and gas/bi-fuel) vehicles has always been listed in Section 8.2.1 ***Spark Ignition***

Mil lamp requirements for diesels are still listed where they always were in Section 8.2.2 ***Compression Ignition**

You need to inspect MIL fitted to diesel vehicles with 4 or more wheels and first used on or after July 2008


That's all for now, over & out

I was reasonable sure that "Diesel" was mentioned on MTS itself though   I'll check and come back on that one.
