lambda probe fault? sounds like a lambda failure to me mate. can you plug it in to a laptop? if so, see if the figures are switching, if theyre not, possibly a shagged probe.

ope you get it sorted old chum

Just passed 5,000 miles on way home from work today, so thats approx 2,000 miles a month in 2 and a half months of ownership, looks like another service soon then !!!! hmmmm so my forcast is a service every three months, thats 450 per service x 4 in a year = 1,800 a year just on services (based on local rates)..... oh and any parts needed of course (who knows eh??) i really must make use of my other car.. oh but i cant, i really really cant, just looking at them both side by side it's gotta be the cerb every time
A little off topic but needed to be said !!

I have this pain in my right elbow when I cough or play backgammon. Any suggestions?

Also, any tips on how to grow foxgloves in acid soil?

Oh...and while you're at it...my neighbour has problems with water stains showing through her newly painted kitchen ceiling..should she re-plaster or just paint over?

[nervous]
