As from 1st Jan 2012 any engine/ warning lights
on in the dash will be a fail.

So I am guessing Bulb out ? or some type of
breaker to the bulb live, so it can switched
off ?

Mine went into ,Murketts Yesterday for an early service and Ive just had a light coming on/off last few days.

Turned out to be a repeat fault code for the rear Lambda sensor so its being changed under warranty.

Also found out I'm getting a new wheel bearing, power steering pipes, Ball joint, two new rear springs and a new Diff.

Very common fault.

It'll be bank 2 rear lambda (I've seen about 4 CSLs with this same, all the same) - it's an emission thing, won't affect the running of the engine.

There are 4 lambdas in our car - 2 pre cat and 2 post cats (the pre-cats are an absolute pain the arse to change).

Best prices I've see are from e-bay - go search on there, plenty of cheap aftermarkets that work just fine without issues.

If it's the pre-cat, then I'd stick with the more reputable brands, as those do affect engine running.
