As Talizman wont do one :D I will start the proceedings, as I need one myself

Lets see what interested is Generated first

If so please add your name to the list, stating MY of car

Ive quoted Harvey's comments below

Sonic: If it helps you I have just got two Lambda sensors from BRD (Bob Rawle Developments) at what i thought was a good price. A hell of a lot less than the local dealer price of £160 plus vat. That could be a starting point for you but I am not sure if Branco wants the hassle of a G.B. I am sure there will be cheaper sources for the Bosch items. If you want more specific details ring me 07860 302020 or harveysmith1@btopenworld.
I have no experience of the Halfords Universal item and would want to try it first to see what is involved in fitting and how many different types there are and how it performs before a G.B. was organised round it. Others on here will have experience of alternative Lambdas or cheaper sources so i think a new thread is called for.

Harvey thanks for the comments, I will email you re the above


1) *Sonic* - MY00

Your not allowed group buys anymore, Simon makes no money out of it !

So stop winding him up.

PS. Whats a lambda sensor?

Am I likely to want one.....

LOL@ Yoza :)

Im ok on this one, I checked :P

Lambda Sensor is the Oxygen Sensor that goes in the downpipe (near the turbo) I didnt think I needed one, till I fitted my AFR gauge, and wasnt getting any sensible readings, and also the performance of the car had dropped quite a bit (hadnt noticed till I drove behind Ayde one day, and couldnt keep up with him (same spec at the time) and he wasnt flooring it either)

Hi Guys
Sorry to hijack thread but thought this might be of interest to you.
I went to power engineering yesterday for various work,part of which was rolling road tune.
Lamda sensor was found to have failed.
They showed me the graph as it was being monitored.
They fitted a universal lamda sensor £47 plus vat,it looked identical appart from no plug,the wires had to be fitted using bullit connectors.
The guys then showed me the graph on the working unit.

I now have improved idle and fuel consumption,no real diference in performance.

Thanks Waggy Doo, I currently have the Halfords one, which cost me 25 quid, and has done 18k miles, I had to change the connectors too, but now I want an OE one :)

Steve -

I might be interested, (MY94 Impreza JDM) - I'd emailed BRD about the sensor this morning, here's Branko's reply...


We do, indeed have the original Subaru oxygen sensor for a MY94 car and it can be fitted either to the exhaust headers or into the main downpipe. The part has a slightly different connector than the JDM one, but costs approx. £250 less than one for JDM cars and can easily be installed with correct voltage going into the ecu anyway.

Just need to discover how much work is required re: the connectors, before I commit myself. I'm in a rush for it as well, so I might need to bypass the GB anyway.

Good luck ! :)

Thanks Paul

any news on the flocking ? I want mine doing now :)

I've got a contact for a company that does it (flocking), but they're based in Banbury. Trying to find somewhere a bit more local.

Best price quoted for the alcantara trimming of the dash was £400 - one company wanted £900 ! :rolleyes: Might have a go myself.... :)

Sorry for off-topic, reply, btw....

I'd be interested in a Lambda sensor dependent on price.... MY99 Turbo...

Cheers

Greg :)

If its an oem unit and the price is reasonable then I'd be interested. MY00 Turbo
