When I had my classic sport, it ate 02 sensors, mainly because I used silicon instead of new gaskets on the exhaust.. lesson learned there

22641aa100

http://www.worldcarparts.co.uk/Defau...&ProductID=717
£81.08 + £5.50 for next day (9-5pm)


Ebay have several: search for "lambda sensors subaru"
lowest price was £18

There was one described as "SUBARU IMPREZA Turbo 2.0i 93 97 Lambda Sensor LB1912" and that was £59
One descibred as "Lambda / Oxygen Sensor for Subaru Impreza Legacy SVX" for £70
putting 22641aa into ebay returned some at £90+

However, try here:
http://www.cats-direct-shop.co.uk/lambda-sensors.php
http://www.twenga.co.uk/brands/LAMBDA-41874.html

It seems that £87 is very good, unless you can find one via Ebay mate.



Hope this helps bud

SD69 I think Tom had the same(ish) problem when he used exhaust paste. I used it too, so maybe it's related?

Cheers for that Carl, but just used one of my life lines and phoned a friend, he can get them for £55

If you're still bored, you can find out what the average airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow is ;]

glad you were able to get em for that mate, sorry I couldnt get it lower for you. Least you'll be able to get your car going again. Is a lambda sensor a common fault on scoobs then? (your model or basically all of them?)

PS.

It depends on whether you are talking about an African or European swallow.

The airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow is roughly 11 meters per second, or 24 miles per hour*, beating its wings 7-9 times per second (rather than 43). But please note that a 5 ounce bird cannot carry a one pound coconut.

Haha, it's fine now actually, picked it up from them at lunch, paid the £50 for nowhere near £50's worth of work ("diagnostics"), got a lecture about it being too low/wide/loud/stiff and drove it back to work. No lights, no stuttering, no stalling, no nothing. Stupid/awesome Jap cars.

lol Carl gotta love a bit of Python! Loving the look of the spoiler too mate, I reckon some red tint film on the rear lights (Maserati style) would really complete the rear end

Glad it's "fixed" Chris. I rememebr having to pay around £50 for Carstins to do a dignostics check, it took them 30 minutes and they told me the check engine light was on "due to aftermarket manifold being fitted" - yeah, cheers.

Is it definitely the O2 sensor that's buggered then? Cos it's quite characteristic of them to work then not work etc. I knackered my old one when I fitted the Borla manifold and used exhaust past pre-cat (you should NEVER do this! ) and I got myself a new one from a seller called "powersparks" on eBay. It was a proper BOSCH one with the correct plug etc, and was around £45. So take a look there if it's definitely that part that's playing up.

You still on for Sunday all things being well?

Yeah, it's been working then not working as well f a while now, but yesterday was the first time it properly screwed up. My mate's ordered me the one he found and I'm popping over to him in a few weeks to fit it (hopefully it holds out that long)...

But yeah, all being well I'll see you on Sunday, either in the layby if there's room (and I'm on time) or there. Suppose I'd better get it washed before then eh?

I'm guessing 'saying of the day' will be along the lines of 'bloody hell it's cold!"

Theres a guy in the hatch section with tint film for £35 instead of £80 as he had it imported, but i just havent got the patience to fit it. the youtube video link he posted said its ten minutes per light.... Anyone here any good with a hair dryer and have patience to fit film?
