check engine light help needed???

[craigy]

write folks i have just drove home from bicester, coming down the a34 at 75-80 constant no right foot happyness and the check engine light came on,

i suffered no symptoms at all, ie  engine noise , exhaust noise,  gave a blip of throttle seemed like the performance is still there.

i have no engine mods at all, well i do have a baileys dump valve , and a green cotton panel filter,

i have however (over the last week) felt a very slight and i mean slight (ie only driver noticable) hesitation wen sitting at 80 in 5th, this only really happens at this speed whilst staying at this speed?

 

what i ideely want is my car put on a diagnostics, dunno where dunno how , the light is staying on now and im a bit worried about it,

can anyone provide info/advice on what i do from here?

its a MY96 jap import classic saloon with the 280bhp engine code

help would be really appreciated folks
