going into neutral and revving the engine shouldnt have done any damage and certainly shouldnt have brought your engine management light on,
have you checked all your common problems, (plugs, leads, dizzy etc)

nope not had a look at anything yet because not very familiar with the engine, is it best to change these first or just to have a look at them for any signs that they may need replacing?

As long as you went into neutral and not 3rd rather than 5th your engine wont have been damaged.

Have you flashed the codes off the ECU to see what fault the EML is coming on for?

Is it an old type XE with a dizzy cap?

Mine was and after a bit of spirited driving, it started running on 3, turned out just a lead had popped off the dizzy end (old leads)

Paperclip test is the 1st thing id do if your getting the EML on. Che kthe obvious things in the bay 1st tho, sensors plugged in propperly, leads on propperly etc
