emissions system service

[tillytheterrier]

whilst driving my vantage roadster today an amber warning light appeared saying warning emissions service now due is this another sensor that will cure itself as car has only been serviced 200 miles ago any answers appreciated thank you

If it repeats, might be a faulty oxygen sensor

I had this occasionally on my car and used a £10 OBD reader to clear the light.
Eventually the light would come on every couple of days and the error codes recorded were from memory P133 & P153.
Replacing the two oxygen sensors upstream of the cats cured the problem permanently.
The sensors are circa £90 each.
My car is a Nov 2007 V8 Vantage Roadster (MY 2008)

You also sound like their ideal customer.

They will charge you £150 for something which could cost you £20 and 15 minutes of your time.

I actually just bought the two sensors from AM and got my local garage to replace them

clears the fault but as i said keeps coming back to will replace the o2 sensor, my vacuum pipe has been removed also so valves are always open without fuse 22 being being removed aswell. worked fine since ive had the car until i pressed the battery isolator! then took me half hour to figure out how to get it back on and find the switch behind the seat! it was then that the error came on! meh! annoying! car runs no different either!
