Petrol and diesel drivers are in serious trouble if one car button light flashes on a dashboard, according to leading mechanic Scotty Kilmer.<\/p>\n
He warned motorists are likely to have a \u201cbig\u201d problem if the check engine light is continually flashing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mr Kilmer has stressed this indicates the vehicle has an issue which could destroy a catalytic converter which could lead to costly repairs.<\/p>\n
