Hints & Tips please
Putting in a new front 02 / Lamda sensor tonight, any hints and tips for getting the old boy out?
got a feeling it's not going to simply undo..
let me know your tricks of the trade

How many times are you going to do this job? Probably once?
Personally, I would stick with TT's advice mate.

SORTED.... well nearly
Bought a Draper 02 sensor socket for a whole £7 from the motor factors, bit of penitrating spray, and it cracked of first go, well happy.
Here ends the happy time, opened the sensor from its packaging and its the wrong ****ing one.....
4" too short and the wrong plug on the end. Quick phone call to the supplier and he confirmed the one I have is for my car, challenged a little further and it seems there is an error in their parts catalogue, the one I need has now been ordered and should be with me thursday....
I will get it done by the weekend

Can an O2 sensor been cleaned
Before refitting my old one last night I blew it through with air and a load of whitish dust puffed out.
To day the symptoms that drew me to change it have all gone
Should I still replace ???? My gut feeling says yes

Replaced last night....
Made a difference all ready, much smoother on the accelation, did not realise how bad it was until this morning
be interesting to see how much fuel i was unnecessarily burning, or if it was just running lean.
