engine check light help

Hi all, im new to SVX ownership, buying my first 5 weeks ago. Im from Southampton, England where these cars are pretty rare, there are only 104 registered in the country.
My question is my engine check light comes on when i am driving, but only once the temp gauge reaches the half way point (about 5 mins into a journey). Im only driving short distances 2-3 miles, but at the end of the journey my top rad hose is hot, as well as top of the rad, but bottom hose and radiator is cold? could this be my thermostat? or a blockage? is that a fault that the ECL would bring up?
i have details of reading fault codes, but im not overly mechanical/electrical, and parts over here need special ordering etc, so have not done this as of yet.
Just incase it makes a difference i changed my alternator belt recently and did an oil change, oil level ok, coolant level ok.
any suggestions appreciated
Phil
