  Am getting a warning light on dashboard "Check injection". I knew it was due for a service, so I've given it an oil change, oil filter & fuel filter. The light's still on. Any ideas? I'm loathe to take it to Renault - last time I had an emissions light & they said I needed a new EGR valve at £500
