Engine light went out when it was plugged in to diagnostics laptop.

no fault code stored.

engine light has stayed out even after quite a few starts and the 30 mile journey home.

fingers crossed!

Thanks to Brett at Brands Hatch Morgan. Going back for 1st service in 6 weeks or so, before my "grand tour" of Ireland (which will take it well past 1000 miles). Am now on 350 miles.

meanwhile, idling is now sometimes uneven or too low.
