It's the warning light telling you that the engine has a fault - or is about to develop one. Maybe a sensor has gone down. Is it on all the time, or only sometimes?

Hi
Year & engine size of 405 please, Because on some of them you can get the fault codes out the memory yourself for FREE & its really simple.

Hi
The oxygen sensor is screwed into the exhaust down pipe just in front of the cat, Best reached from under the car.
£176! Thats a rip off! You can pick these sensors up at most motor factors or even Halfrauds as a last resort, Get a well known name like NGK / Bosch & avoid the cheap ones because they dont last.
Screws in the exhaust ( If the old one comes out easily! ) & just plugs in to the wiring loom ( Unless you get a universal one & have to join the wires up )
