Thanks for the reply Lozz it was parked on a slight incline outside my house but I have had the orange light on before outside my house and it has never refused to start must be just one of those things :roll: but it is running fine now :?

My car coughs and splutters when fuel light is on,
its parked on a slope so iguess it carnt pick up fuel properly On reserve fuel~ if parked on a slope/incline,
ive noticed the Fuel guages are incorrect on french cars,
