Hi,
 i have a 2002 2.6i CDX Est Auto, the engine emission warning light is on constantly, as of today. Does anyone know what the likely outcome is and whether or not the local garage will be able fix or will I need to take it to a Vauxhall dealer. It's done 140,000 miles. Any info appreciated. Thanks

hi rob i had the same prob twice the first was to do with that bad fuel prob lem we had which needed new lambda sensors the other which happend the other week was a blocked cat  (to many  short trips to work)

I would get the codes read first. Chances are it's the cat efficiency warning which mainly plagues 3.2s but 2.6s have the same pre-cats. It's not a problem with MOT emissions and almost certainly not a lambda sensor problem, just a pain in the neck. It might be worth putting a bottle of cataclean through it though.

Yes, I would get codes read first, so at least you know what you are dealing with.
