Clean all the connections at the bulbs and makesure their all the same brand.. i had an issue like this with my 740.....

..... that isn't a CEL it is telling you to Check the "check board" it is the little bored with the red leds that tells you when your lights are out or fluids are low.... click the button on it and the Check will stop blinking because you checked it (also check the item thats lite up....)

as Pinn said "its a small pencil size input for my OBC to change from standard to metric. you just tap it once or twice" my car had to be in the range or mpg / liters :100 km's

.... why? it is low? it is the same res. as the brake fluid use atleast dot 3...
if you look at the side of the res. there will be a hose comming off it and that goes to the Clutch master Cylinder....
