Can you not go back to the garage and ask them to check it out again for you. Was the lamba sensor at fault? I'm guess thats why the light was up before.

Hi mate get someone who has a Bluefin and it can be turned off.
There are also cheap devices on Ebay that will do the job.

If the light comes on you still have a fault somewhere, that's what the light is for it's a WARNING something is wrong.

As said the warning light is telling you there is a fault somewhere, you need to the cause of the problem sort this and then the light will extinguish.

Have you tried resetting the KAM?

Disconnect the negative lead off the battery for half an hour, that will reset the light and clear any fault codes. If the light comes back on, there is still an issue somewhere!
