I don't think it's the oxygen sensor looking on ross-tech

Have you got any other fault codes?

Yes mate got 2 but the p0012 code is there the next next morning after I reset it but don't bring the light on dash a few days later I get p1103 then that one does bring the light on dash. Why does the second one bring the light on dash but the first one does not

When I was having some issues with mine the ECU would throw up codes without putting the light on.

Was told sometimes they can throw out ''ghost codes'' due to other issues. I'd get your sensor done and reset and see how it goes.
