just noticed whenever I pull away from standing at lights or from a standing start- the red emergency warning stop flickers on but disappears once I'm moving. Is there anything I can do about this please ?

Check your LHM fluid level?

Check your coolant level asap.

Check your engine oil level ASAP.

Thanks guys, a minute quantity of LMH seems to have done the trick !

Hi Mike,

I doubt a minute quantity is enough - the level is checked with the suspension height set to maximum - when the suspension is at normal height the level in the tank will be MUCH higher, which means if the low level light was activating at normal driving height the oil level in the tank was VERY low.

Please make sure you've checked the level at maximum suspension height, as what you describe suggests the level was about 1 litre short.

Regards,
Simon
