Default Engine warning display

Not sure if this related, but sounds like it could be. Last week I posted details on the V10 forum regarding my Gallardo coughing and dying by the side of the road, apparently according to the dealer from the "water in the coil pack" problem. Funny thing is that it was two days before that, when I had last washed the car, and it had been running fine for two days subsequently,(although it not done very many miles - about 40, I guess). He said there was heaps of water in somewhere (can't remember his exact words), so he's probably right.

When the problem occured, bank 1-5 engine warning display came on, and also 1-5 Cat problem (probably 'cos of the unburnt fuel going into the cat).

The dealer has performed the coil pack upgrade and replaced bank 1-5 Catolytic converter, and I was expecting to get the car back today. But alas, they phoned me and said that whilst the engine seems to be running fine, after a short while of running, 1-5 engine warning light comes back on. So they are now investigating this.

Has anyone had these symptoms after the coil pack upgrade, or a "water" problem causing the engine warning display to come on? I have never had the engine warning light come on before this all happened.

Webbo, my exhaust is always rather sooty on the ends of the pipes.

Problem is, that I have now been without the car for a week, and I am starting to fret and suffer withdrawal symptoms!
