The light has to be turned off using a code reading computer. Some auto parts stores will do that for you free of charge. If not you will have to purchase the computer, some less then $100, or take it to a shop.

When i push my 04 mini cooper S, at the 5500rpmpoint, car just "falls on its face", the service engine soon light which was previously on, begins to blink as well as the traction control light comes o

Drive it real easy until you get the computer scanned for trouble codes.
The check engine light is telling you the computer has a problem with something that will affect performance and emissions, when it flashes the problem is serious and can damage the engine or engine parts.
The trouble codes will tell a mechanic what to look for and test.

Check engine light came on, within minutes it "powered down" stalled, dies and will not start. What could cause this to happen? Did the turn key off/on to get code and "done" appeared.

Hello
When the service engine soon light a yellow light (Also called the check engine light or engine management light) is turned on this is to alert you to the fact that Powertrain Control Module (computer) has detected a failure somewhere in the systems it controls you may not feel any difference in the way the engine runs, this can be the transmission or the engine or emission system, there are fault codes set in the modules memory for these faults. What needs to happen now is to have the powertrain control module scanned with a special tool called an OBD2 electronic engine control scanner or a OBD2 code reader. Once the code(s) are read then you must perform the diagnostics for each code and make the appropriate repairs based on the findings of the diagnosis that was performed, this is called doing "Pinpoint" testing.

Turn off the service engine soon on freelander 2004

Have you checked your gas cap? What was the reason for the check engine light coming on? If just a cap issue the light should reset on it own. If you want to get rid of it just disconnect your negative battery terminal for a minute then reconnect. You will have reprogram your radio stations.

The "Service Engine Soon" light

The service engine light came on because there is something wrong with your engine so you need to take your car to a local mechanic. This code your getting all depends on the year of the car would allow someone to check the code or codes of newer cars that have a OBD II codes while the older cars did not have such things.

Engine block amber light

sounds like your check engine light is on. On 99ish 3 series the check engine light was an amber engine in the instrument cluster. I thought 5 series actually said service engine soon. If you cycle your key the bulb check should illuminate all lights. see if you have a light that says service engine soon, if not, the amber engine, is the check engine light.
