   Might do.. Would work out cheaper. This cars turning into a money well! Any chance that if I unplug ecu it would reset the light?

   Can always try a 'soft' reset. unhook the battery overnight or something and see if it sorts itself out. Does the car run okay?

    Cant imagine it being lambda problems if the cars running fine, most cars will run a bit rough if something like that, see if the battery trick sorts it, if not can always pull the fuse for the ecu out for a few mins to reset it too, works on my car but not sure if the ecu has a fuse on the saxo
