Hi, I had exactly the same thing, it did go away after a few days but returned a week later. No symptoms as such (mine's a late 2001 x-type 2.5 V6). I took it to a local garage (independent) and they code read it, found it was the o2 sensor and had it fixed the same day, just over £80 for the part and 1 hour labour + vat totalled around £160 I think all in. Hope this helps.
