Thanks for that I had a feeling that was probably going to be the problem.

I'll check out the codes.

: ever get into the tank. Many tanks have a little water trapped in them -

: as it's beneath the petrol it's low in oxygen and so doesn't cause

: (much) rusting. When you run the tank low enough, this can get picked up

: and fed to the engine. Water-soluble contaminants will concentrate in

: here too.

: Check your ECU fault codes. If they say the lambda sensor is dead, it's

: time to swap it. Not much else you can do.
