   well, a lambda sensor is a lambda sensor isnt it? thats what ive always thought...
   
   Just different plugs on the end..
   
   Ive done it plenty of times where they didnt fit becuase the plugs were different, so ive made them fit... never had an issue with it

   Ok juts the last time I bought one from eurocar parts they had two different ones, one for infront of the cat and one for after the cat. Some on ebay say pre cat lambda sensor but non say post cat lambda sensor and why are some £39.99 and some go upto over a £100?
   
   Just out of interest how did you make it fit?

   3 plug vts with 2 lamdas = both pre and post cat lambdas are the same.
   
   DO NOT get the one linked in the first post, pile of crap....... I have tried one.
   
   
   
   Why do you need to replace the after cat lambda?
   If it's putting EML on, it means the cat need replacing.

   Thanks I will splash the cash on a bosch one.
   The wiring is detatched from it as it got damaged a while ago on a speed bump so it is just acting as a plug in the hole, so engine management light is on. The exhaust has a decat pipe on anyway so I am guna plug the hole and get a sleeve for the sensor. I could solder it back together like.
