Hi I have a mondeo 2.0 lx tdci (130) and when I turn the car on it sits at around 500rpm for between 10-30 seconds with the battery and engine management light on, yet after 10-30 seconds both lights go off as the revs pick up to normal tick over? Any advice...thanks

    No still at work mate, another lad said to clean the EGR valve, another said to get the injectors recoded?

    you could do all of those to be honest, cleaning the MAF is easy with electrical contact cleaner, the injectors can be recoded with ELM Config, and the EGR could be removed and cleaned thoroughly
