This is a V5 2.3 petrol engine
About 34,000 mile, the exhaust emission warnong lamp came on. Your friendly local dealer - Beadles in MAidstone Kent UK use their plug in system to reset, butthe light just comes on again within about 5 minutes of picking the car up. I just drive with it on now for the last 70,000 miles - it looks very pretty, especially at Christmas but can it be fixed?
Thanks for your help

Hi alanh2008,

After getting used to it for so long won't you miss it if it is repaired?

Either the catalytic converter or its sensor is faulty. Changing it should solve the problem.
