Chances are it needs a new MAF.
EML should reset after you have run it a while - it can take five runs before it does though.
If the MAF is shot, it won't reset - or not permanently anyway.

Hi Tony and Dieselnut again,

I was examining engine last night when I saw a small pool of diesel at one of the injectors.

This seems to be a leak under high pressure.

Could this be the cause of the problem?

it's a good start, u shouldn''t have pools of diesel around injectors so it needs investigating.

^ Thanks for the advice, the car is sitting far too high on that normal setting so I shall check the height settings then, I will have to get down my mates yard with his 4 post ramp and have a look, so this sounds like its more of the height problem rather than the spheres and to be honest, the two front spheres look brand new from the outside.

As I said above, it seems a problem with C5IIs as the bulbs are different. C5Is use normal sidelight bulbs and they don't get through them any quicker than other cars. If you touch a blub with your finger and leave grease on the outside it does shorten the life of the bulb.
