New owner HELP!

[Daracottage]

I bought a 2005 206cc today. Wow it's lovely but I travelled 150 miles to get it. I drove it home but when I switched it off and back on, the anti pollution light came on. I thought that driving it on a motorway for 150 miles could only do good? The fuel tank was basically empty on collection and we filled the tank to the top. It's beautiful but have I made a mistake? I live on Royal Deeside, Aberdeenshire, help... Advice? Thanks

Did you buy privately or from a dealer, and any warranty given?

It may just be an oxygen sensor that's dying - still not ideal to have to spend £100+ on your new car, but hopefully nothing worse.
It's also possible that if the tank was almost empty, then a splutter in fuel supply as it was about to run out could have triggered an error code which may just need resetting.
If I were you I would have a look on www.peugeotforums.com/ and see if anyone has "Peugeot Planet 2000" in your area. If you can find someone that does then they can just interrogate your ECU for any error codes, and reset them or give you clues as to what other actions you need to take.

Problem is there are two lambdas, so which one? PP2000 should be able to pin point the faulty one although when we had lots of lambda a co2 issues, is was the exhaust ... it resembled one those cheeses you see in Tom and Jerry cartoons ... full of holes!!

Doesn't have to be Peugeot planet. A good pro scanner such as Launch, snapon or Macscan will interogate it quite well. I have PP2000 but I mainly use my Macscan as it's quicker. You can go straight to live data and check o2 #1 & o2 #2 from there. Live data can tell you so much more than a static code.
