CEL 21 - coolant temp sensor. doesn't make the car run badly whatsoever - it's just a bitch during cold starts, as the ECU assumes the car is running stupidly hot, to the point where it enrichens the mixture and turns the radiator fans on.

quite a nice little precaution, and makes me warm the car up every morning. just don't want to imagine the troubles during winter i'll have with it - so i'll definately have to have it rectified by then.

protip: don't spray water on the top of the heads after cleaning up a coolant spillage. i learnt the hard way
