    why do you need to change it mate, are your revs going mental?

    this is the one you need mate

    but dont dare pay that price, go to a scrappy or motor factors

    Type in your reg on eurocarparts mate & don`t buy off ebay as i`ve heard some horror stories about lambda sensors from there.

    i was looking at the one for 30 quid on ebay not sure about it though. and was thinking about a trip down the scrappy but whats the likelyhood of that been knacked aswell? what colour should a decent one be? mines a rusty brown colour. i want to change it because im getting judder when settin off its mainly 1st and 2nd.

    lambda should be a whiteish colour, if its black or brown then its probably on its way out.

    but ill put my house on it that the lambda wont affect the juddering. it will be coilpack most presumably, if not then its certainly spark related

    ive already changed the coil pack made no differnce had new plugs aswell. ive changed the injectors and its still the same. every sensor has been changed nearly. could it be something inside the engine? doesnt seem to be any loss in power though, but a while back i could only get to 5k revs and it would just stop and it cut out a few times while driving now it seems fine revs all the way out. my revs are bouncing aswell

    why did you change the injectors?

    a mobile mechanic hooked up his computer(about the size of one) and he tested sparks injectors coilpack though it
    cost me £20 for him to do it

    i changed them because they had black gritty stuff in them was a mess. it did make a difference for a while. now the judder and revs bouncin is getting worse again.
