Possible, but you normally get the orange "engine" light for emissions. Anyone near you with a code reader Ralf

[bored bigyin54]

could it be the lampada sensor

[bored bigyin54]

not as far as i know rob forgot to say it dont drive any differnt when its on

[RobG]

Possibly lambda but ideally need a reader on it

[bored bigyin54]

i think it may be that as mot said lambda slightly high thinking of takin it next week for a check

[Auto Addict]

Does it start first time every time?

[bored bigyin54]

yes it does every time all i got to do is stop turn engine off and start it light goes off for some time

You have to get a reader on it. Guessing is just pissing in a force 9.

Random part changing is expensive, and makes finding out what is really wrong so much more complex.

called out rac for a diagnostic but they are busy cant come out till morning so may then know why light keeps coming on

I very much doubt it, do it properly & read the codes yourself 

Around £30 for an el-cheapo code reader from ebay

bank one sensor due to exhaust blow on computer

[pscocoa]

but this would put emmissions warning light on not spanner light. Emmissions light would not go off on restart of car.

[bored bigyin54]

i had the manegment light on after and the spanner one is off and stayed off

[pscocoa]

ok so reset of error codes will turn emissions light off - how long before it comes back on? maybe whack some top class fuel  in it
