On the road a day

and three more question for you :) 1...a) the dreaded lambda light....i searched here & disconected the battery, . light went out, only to come back on after 30 miles, so this morning . i removed fuse 1, the light has now gone out again, how often can . this be done without causing problems ? b) has anyone suffering from the above problem found that it mainly . occurs after reversing the car ? 2......a noise has developed, which appears to come from the passenger . dash area towards the engine bay, it can only be described as what . what sounds like a quiet 'helicopter', there is nothing in the glove box . its definately dash or engine bay, any clues please ? its a 2 ltr turbo incase that may help. Thanks Jan.

Hi, As regards 2), has a leaf got into the blower motor? ivor940

Hi Jynx, I'd agree with Ivor re the leaf. Try changed the fan speed and see if it varies with the fan speed - an easy confirmation if it does. Regarding the lambda light, I'd read the fault codes and see what is being flagged. Do you have any other symptoms - does the engine stall/hesitate when its illuminated? It'll probably switch into 'get home mode' when the lamp illuminates so it won't feel as sprightly. Let us know what the fault codes are and we'll try and point you in the right direction. NB The instructions on reading fault codes are here: its an old website that I should update, but I can never find the time! Good luck.

Cheers for the leaf theory lads, i've tried every which way with the fan but to no avail :( after stickin my head in the foot well its deffinatley coming from engine bay, could be something loose but i'll wait & see what drops off :) Thanks for the link R/T......i'll have a go at the fault codes tommorrow & see what it reads.

Hi Jan, There is another known snag on 940 Turbos which is that the fuel pipes are known to tap on the underside of the body when the engine is running. There are other posts re this snag. ivor940

Don't know enough about your car but could it have a problem like what is common on the S/V40 Chris

thanks for the last 2 suggestions lads, i'll have a read of that properly after, just printed out how to read my fault codes so i'm off to do that now......hopefuly :) jan

fault codes for first to tests are 1 1 1........so that looks good couldnt do any more as had no one to press accelerator @ ivor940........you might be right, the noise is louder from the floor so thankyou :) jan

Hi Jan, I found the article on the fuel pipes: ivor940
