Hi peeps i know its not a saxo but its a very similar set up to the furios its a pug 206 8v 1.4.. just done a head gasket and cambelt change and yes the head was skimmed etc etc all done properly... now the lambda sensor needs changing which has knocked the eml light on this was on way before the head gasket change etc etc.. the day before we changed the head gasket the eml light started flashing and went into limp mode so changed gasket and cambelt etc and car now runs sweet.. changed coilpack and serviced the car and still runs sweet.. 2 days later engine light starts flashing again and starts to mifire abit here n there but not that bad.. then today driving home if u go to accelerate the car judders and loose power but if u feather the throttle it will pick up fine... then all the dials died and came back on again n then car ran fine for abit

lambda sensor will cause the car to cut out and miss fire buddy but as for the lights try bad earths or a loose conection on the batt ect
