more likely to be dale! all three silver autechs in the UK
I'm not bothered about my insurance the type of claim it is they always end 50/50 regardless of the evidence, (i have the cctv from the garage showing he never looked when he opened his door) even still I don't want to go through insurance have it end up like that and cost me money in the long run.
He's fixing his I'm fixing mine job done, was the only panel with rust on my car anyway
Got a new wing lined up just need it spraying, got something in mind anyway till then

Right so as my Lamdba has not been working for aaaages now, I went and got myself a new one, but not a normal one, got the idea from 'The Dash'.
Pretty impressive to note I have gotten 400+ miles from a tank without a working lamdba :stuart:
The stock sensor earths itself through the manifold and the grounding strap that is normally present at the end of the downpipe, now most people upgrade to stainless manifold and rarely put the the grounding strap back on.
Stainless is a shit conductor so the lambda is basically not earthed, now the new sensor I have has a separate wire for an earth
Heres what I have;
1 scissor jack achieves this :clown:
Removed the old sensor, possibly the 14yo original
With its 3 wires 2 Heater (White) and 1 signal (Black)
The New sensor
Comes with everything you need
4 Wires
1 Black - Signal
2 White - Heater
1 Grey - Earth
(Kinda missed a few pictures)
Old vs New
The new connection and the extra wire
Finished with a ring terminal and some heat shrink
With the new lambda installed, the wires sat right by the earthing points on the back of the inlet so I have earthed it there
Taking the car out shortly so will see how it is now

brapp brapp!
Good work sir x
odd as your 02 sensor wasn't plumbed into a stainless exhaust manifold anyways. . .
tidy work tho

I know the ASP is only Mild steel but still thats not a great conductor.
well my verdict is in been out driving around for the last hour or so, it hasnt done anything wrong since fitting
I will give it a few days to make sure its definitely ok, but its an initial win for sure.
Ive also just changed around some hoses on the engine getting rid of the shitty hose pipe effect stuff for the catch can plus it was pretty small, and replacing the breather for the FPR as it was rather perished.
