   Could anyone please provide me a link or tell me where I can buy a lambda sensor for my blacktop mk1 vtr. Also a guide on how to fit it would be wicked, site wont allow me to search - just comes up as an error.
   
   Thanks

   Wicked, reps will be given. Didnt really want to fork out for one. If I get down the scrappy, you say anyone will fit?
   
   I presume I just follow the cable and unplug it and reserve procedure?
   
   Cheers guys

    some connection housings are different, pins themselves will be the same, just need a steady hand and a stanley knife to make them fit at times!

    Stick with oe parts if you want it to last longer. Although i think they are over £100 from citroen.
    
    Try and get a genuine one from a scrap yard.
    
    You may have trouble trying to get a pattern one fitting as on some the little lugs which pair the plug with the connector are different.

    careful of these universal ones, they require you to solder it up and when you got two grey wires and two white , what the f=== then?
