Default 96 850 T5 Faults

Help!!!!
My 1996 T5 is a lovely car but it's begining to start failing on me! Any help with any of these faults would be a tremendous help.

Service light on - how do I reset it? (I have an OBDII socket under the coin holder infront of the gear shift).

I stalled the engine and 'bump' started as I was rolling - Lambda light came on and won't go off - why? How do ou turn it off?

ABS Warning light on sometimes it goes off,sometimes it doesn't. New pads and discs fitted about 2k miles ago.

Ignition has to be turned back a couple of degrees after engine starts in order to fire up the electrics.... anyone had that fault? Do I need a new ignition assembly?


many thanks guys!

1. You will need a service light reset tool to get it to turn off.Or go to the dealer for a $20.00 oil change and make sure they reset it while doing the oil change.

2.It might just be ironic that it cam on when it stalled or it might have stalled it.
You will have to have the codes pulled and checked then they can be reset.

3.Most likely the ABS module is bad and will need to be replaced or rebuilt. Follow the link to get it rebuilt. http://home.earthlink.net/~vicrocha/...vo_V70_ABS.htm

4. The electrical part of the ignition switch needs to be replaced it is bad.
