After a warning light showing on the dash, it's in the dealers today who have told me it needs a power train software update. 1hour labour £100 not covered under used warranty.

WTF is a power train update? Any ideas?

What did they say when you asked? 

To be honest, I was in the middle of two meetings and a conference call when they called, so I just said 'yes whatever, crack on'. Yes I know....I should have asked, although I haven't found the dealer particularly helpful in the past.  Current MY2020

can only think it must be a firmware update on the auto transmission module, but not heard of it my self but as dan said i would ask them to explain what it was needed for...i did read someware about the police having different gear changes,what was the light that came up and what was it doing... V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.

It was the engine light that came on in yellow, the car drove fine though and I drove it for 500miles with it on. I'll get the details from the dealer and post the reasons when I get the car back tomorrow. Maybe they will update the transmission to a new 8 speed box?  Current MY2020

You drove 500 miles with your engine warning light on!!!!

I had an Audi 4.2V8 that had a constant EM light on.

It was a air fuel mixture.

Yes I did 500 miles with a yellow light on..the dealer said it's OK but if it turns red then stop! As it came on the day before the snow, I decided I was not going to miss the chance of having some fun in the White stuff

Anyway, car is back now with an invoice which states "carried out software download to PCM module" apparently the software became corrupted and had to be rewritten. How could I argue? Nice to have it back now, complimentary clean and a box of Christmas sweets and an ice scraper left as a presnt from the dealer...yes, an ice scraper for the heated windscreen!!

Off to pick up a Christmas tree. Current MY2020

Not 100% convinced your dealer knows what he is talking about...

The engine warning light only has one colour - amber. The owners handbook state that the light will illuminate when the ignition is turn to position II and extinguishes once the engine is started.

It then goes on to say if the lamp illuminates or flashes whilst driving there is a fault detected and to seek qualified assistance urgently (on your previous post I would probably not include your local dealer in that category!)
