   I can answer the lambada part, unplug your battery for about 30 minutes, If it doesn't go out check wiring connections.

   The light should go out once you've used the car for a few days.

   Driveshaft oil seal cost less than £10.00. Take off wheel, remove the 30mm drive shaft nut (it will be tight), take out ball joint pinch bolt and prize the bottom arm away from hub.
   
   Drive shaft will pull out of gearboz by hand quite easily. Remember a tub to catch the oil as it comes out. Remove old seal with a suitable tool. Clean area and push in new seal, put some oil on it prior to refitting shaft back into the gearbox.
   
   To refil box you will see 2 square drive plugs on the end of the gearbox, they are behind the arch liner - bottom one drains oil, top one is for filling. Best to remove all the metal parfticle on the magnetic drail plug while it's out as well mate.
   
   Refil oil on a level road until it reaches level of the filling hole.

   I always go to Citroen for rubber seals as they seem to be better quality. Eurocarparts or any motor factors should be able to get it though.
