    IIRC its fuel / exhaust related.

    Pull the codes and see what comes up.

    don't worry about the lambda light mine has been on for nearly 2 years, just gone thru mot 2 months ago, emissions great well below limit, mine runs on gas also so my lambda is confused but i have got used to mine so i just ignore it, i have covered over 18000 miles in the last 2 years no problem...

    just took it down to my garage for him to plug his code reader in £4000 gadget didnt work , tried the ever so slightly cheaper version , didnt work , then he tried the £80 one " worked " , turns out it was just showing an error code , as in somewhere along the line a sensor somewhere threw a fit and put the light on ...... " phew " .... he reset it and didnt even take a penny for his time ..... top bloke .
