    I think this means the DPF (diesel particulate filter) requires cleaning, you should increase engine speed to above 2000 rpm (in other words give it a decent run above 2000 rpm) when the light stops flashing the cleaning is done. I think you can force a "regeneration" using opcom but I have never done it myself.

    Hi i drove the van for a short trip when i checked it over, i need to give it a run on the motorway and see if it carries out a regeneration, i see if the pressure sensor can be read with a diag tool, i used to work for a vauxhall main dealer 5 years ago but now with Peugeot/Hyundai and lost touch with product knowledge with vauxhall thanks for the reply,and as soon as i can get back to the van i will let you know how i get on.
