Emissions warning light was created by Don76
Oh, I may have bought a turkey here. 
King pins, sorted.
ABS issue, sorted
Now we have a wee yellow light on the dash board. Apparently to do with emissions control.
It drives fine with no loss of power or anything. My jimny is a late 2005 early 2006 model.
I have no idea where to start with this one as I am way out of my knowledge area.
Could I ask you all again (sorry) to suggest a few ideas as to where to start in regards sorting this one out.
Thanks again ...

You need to get the code read. A code reader from eBay is cheaper than a garage would charge to read it. It will almost certainly tell to that a O2 sensor has failed

IF IT AINT BROKE, KEEP FIXING IT UNTIL IT IS
Replied by Max Headroom on topic Re:Emissions warning light
Sounds like thats what I had.
I kept resetting the light (I dont have a code reader... yet) by disconnecting the neg terminal on the battery for a few mins and while it was disco'd turn the ignition to on press the horn etc to diperse any electrical memory in the system. This worked well with two resets in six months but the other week when I reset it, the darned light came back on within moments of moving off.
I gave in and cx'd the O2 sensor on the exhaust manifold and the light hasn't been on since.
All the info you should need about my experience changing the sensor found HERE
(My second post on that page.)

Thank you both for your responses.
I have done the battery method Max suggested, the fault has cleared and I have had a quick run out with no issues. One of the sensors is obviously on the way out though.
With regard a code reader on eBay, can anyone suggest one they have had success with? I found a few, is it just an OBD2 reader I am after.

Yes any of them will be able to get you the code. I have a draper expert one that cost me 25 quid and now I also have an autool x50 plus permanently wired in front of the instrument panel as it has a display facility as well as code reading and reset. That was about 26 quid off Amazon.
