It's the water-in-fuel sensor warning light. You need to go under the rear
right hand wheel arch (the wheel arch ahead of the fuel filler), in front of
the wheel mounted on the chassis is the fuel filter.
Turn the catch on the fuel filter cover and remove/release the cover. You
should now be able to see the sensor on the bottom of the filter with a
3-pin electrical plug attached to it. Put a container under the filter to
catch the drained water/diesel.
Remove the electrical plug and then GENTLY undo the sensor until fluid flows
down the drain pipe. It will start to flow pure diesel after a while (a
second or two at most), at which point GENTLY do the sensor back up again
until reasonably tight (don't overtighten as you will strip the delicate
thread on the sensor).
Reconnect the plug and replace the filter cover. Check warning light
)
Hope this cures it, if not then it's likely you've got a faulty sensor
(there was a faulty batch fitted to some Td5s, how old is yours?) and will
need to fit a new one..
