HELP!!!!!!

The check engine light keeps coming on on my 1996 300tdi auto.  It seems to happen when my foot is resting on the throttle.

Any ideas anyone?  

Also, does anyone in the vacinity of West Berkshire have testbook that I could connect up to it as I object STRONGLY to paying Lancaster Land Rover £50 for 2 minutes work!!!!!!!!!

Many thanks
