Why has the engine light come on in my Nissan Almera?

I have a 2006 Nissan Almera 1.5 petrol. Today the engine light came on and I lost power. It has struggled to start since. What do I do?

Hi Daniel,

I'm afraid that it's not possible to analyse that sort of problem from afar. You need to get the car into a garage and hooked up to a diagnostic machine. That'll result in an error code to help the mechanic identify the cause of the problem. It's most likely a sensor of some description, but it needs to be recitifed in any case.

Let us know how you get on
