    Hi Mate,Fill in your details on the site and we can help you to a good mech in your area,
    You needs to get the codes read,Could be something silly like a sensor,Or something major,
    You shouldn't really drive the car with that light on.

    PS Tickover is about 900 rpm well it is on my S70,

    Wow! 12-13000 rpm tickover does seem a little high (think you mean 12-1300), still high. The light you have on is the Lambda light; suggest you get the fault codes read. Temp. gauge; thermostat stuck open; quite common, not a big or expensive job. Petrol; if you're getting 22-25 you're about average.
    Cheers, Chris.

    You have an air leak, 99% the elbow joint or another metered air hose, the fault code that is stored will be 232-long term fuel trim to rich or lean at idle and will give terrible economy.

    It is sucking un metered air hence the high tickover, check all the vac hoses, the fault code and light will dissapear once repaired and run for 100 miles or so corrected.

    It pays to listen to this man!!! I had a vac hose go on mine and got it all sorted for the cost of £1.80 + VAT because of the advice I got through here. I think there is a section on it in the Knowledge forum here. Quite a fiddly job though, so be prepared to swear a lot if you have hands even slightly bigger than a child...

    If you buy the elbow and bring it with you - I will have a crack at fitting it.

    I think you'll find it is 9155862 if my memory serves and it's at the lh (as you look at it) end of the inlet manifold under the thermostat housing

    Just as a matter of interest if you were to replace all elbows and associated hoses on a 850/s70 how many would you need to complete the job ? it seems to me that these can cause no end of trouble especially with increased boost ie rica,d cars mine being one of them ! is it normally obvious when they are damaged or do the majority open up on boost , i am having no joy at all locating my leaky hose/elbow And last question for those who have a 310bhp rica,d car i use NGK BKR7EVX plugs and always have , i do drive the car harder now its chipped what is the general feeling regarding plugs should i upgrade if so what to ?
    p.s what the hell does LOL mean its been driving me mad but i was just to embaressed to ask?

    The whole wobbly thing started at VT. Everyone there is called bear.

    There is Adam Bear, Hamish Bear, Girly Bear, Little Bear, John Bear - the list goes on.

    Adam said I was Wobbly Dave - and like many nicknames it kinda stuck. I think I do occasionally wobbly things - it has nothing (I hope) to do with my physique, although I have a close personal relationship with beer.

    Firthman. I will get you your elbow. £35 for the service light is a rip off. Bear with me and I will see what I can do.

    If it's the vac hose that's gone, you won't need to have the light reset. Mine went out on it's own after about 50 miles of normal driving after the new hose went on. Anyway, my local independant was happy with a few beer tokens to reset all my codes, so worth ringing around a few.
