Repeated illumination of engine exhaust light - is there anything I can do to clear the fault?
The emissions warning light on my 2008 Mini Cooper came on last year and after visiting our local mini dealer and being quoted £380 for a new sensor we had it replaced at a local garage for £280. Six months on the emissions light has come on shortly after filling up with fuel. Is there anything I can do to clear the fault or do I have to replace the sensor again?

Can I remove, and clean the lambda sensor in my Mitsubishi Carisma?
I own a 2002 Ford Focus 2.0 petrol, with 125,000 miles on the clock. The other day, whilst idling at a roundabout, the yellow engine light came on. I took it to a Ford garage and they said that error code...
I have a fault with Bank 1 sensor 1 (lambda sensor), which I believe is the pre-cat sensor. Which one is this as I can see two sensors by the exhaust manifold sitting side by side?

Great performance from Cooper S, much smoother and more sophisticated than first generation, capable of travelling distances in comfort.
