   The lamba sensor on my manifold/downpipe has come out completely due to rust, can I patch this with chemical metal or is not worth my time? If is a new manifold I need, are scrappies any good and what sort of price should I be looking at?

   may as well get a 2nd hand manifold then the new buyer wont be put off by a bodged one... Not expensive. £20?

   If its the lamba sensor from the downpipe, ur going to need a new cat because the down pipe is ur cat.

   Yeh, about eight inches off the join to the center pipe? Are there three parts to my system then? Manifold/center pipe/backbox or 4. Manifold/downpipe/center pipe/backbox
