New boy,

Got a LL from group buy too and also UK 96. If anyone has fitted the same then an idiots guide to which wires go where in laymans terms would be very useful. Not took mine out of the wrapper yet but will be fitting later this week.

Cheers
Ritchie.

The white wire is the sensor wire on a 96.

You can splice into it at the sensor itself.

The reason you are not getting anything is that the sensor takes time to warm up before it starts to read properly. Give it time to warm up and the lights will start to **** around like they should.

If you have a decat downpipe, wrapping the downpipe helps speed up this process of warming up.

I fitted one to my P1 today - not a light coming on on the box apart from the power LED. My Lamda sensor has four wires and I connected it to the white one and the earth to the engine block - is this correct?

And yes its been run warmed up with no change.
