Hi,
The flashing light could indicate a problem with the ECU ( Electronic Control Unit). Do not attempt any repair yourself, best advice would be to take your car to an approved dealer and they can check it out for you.
Do not leave this unattended as sometime in the future this is going to be part of the MOT ( iF NOT ALREADY!) and you could find that your car would fail its MOT.
