It's the light below the rev counter right of the fuel guage.
The one with the lighting bolt...Acceleration is jerky & jumpy.
Does anyone know what this could be and how expensive it will be to fix?

lol same as me then mate.
could even be the Idle control valve. Ideally you need to get it to a vaux garage and get the fault code.

open the engine bay, move the throttle to rev the engine, see if the spring and metal bit from the idle control valve moves to catch up with it, if it doesnt, thats the part that needs replacing.
