Engine management light, which can involve a multitude of things from small to big.. You will need to get it to your local Mechanic so they can link it to the computer to diagnose the problem.
They usually scratch their heads and say they think you need to replace the (expensive) lambda oxygen sensor.

Hi Mr K, I have sourced the light, as above in my question I just wanted to know what a malfunction in emissions control could be... and what to do about it.

All you ever wanted to know about lambda sensors!

The Lambda (or O2 sensor) is in the exhaust system very near the front. It can indicate to the ECU that there is a fuelling problem, or itself may be faulty.
Not desperate, but car will probably not pass next MOT without fixing the problem.
