HEADPHONES Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Firstly, many thanks to all who have posted all the info on the forum. From the list of codes to the "secret handshake pedal manoeuvre" After a spirited exit from a roundabout the slip light blinked and then the dreaded engine light came on Engine was well warmed up at the time and all fluids at correct levels. Drove home keeping revs below 2k . Got the CEL flashing the following sequence ....147114711471..... Checking the list I assume it's 1147 heated O2 sensor 2. SO THE BIG QUESTION IS....IS IT OK TO DRIVE UNTIL IT'S FRIDAY APPOINTMENT AT THE GARAGE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEADPHONES Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Many thanks for the reply. I was imagining all sorts on the drive home.....engine running lean, pinking etc......and I don't even know what these terms really mean suffice to say I worried about engine damage of some sort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I might see you there depending on how long it takes for them to verify the fault code and come up with a plan for me to return for repairs.

Its a lambda sensor, they will most probably replace it and charge you about £80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
