   Feel like a complete moron asking this but how the f do you undo the connector for the lambda sensor. Just doesn't seem to come loose. There is a red button thing on the side, not sure what that does?

   Unscrew the bolt which is connected to the manifold. Follow the wire and it's a simple click in connector.

   No I mean the connector itself. There isn't a normal push down bit to slide it out. Just seems so wierd.
   
   Think ill grab a picture.

   Pull the red bit upwards, use a flat ended screwdriver to ease it up

   As above you need to pull the red clip out of the connector until it clicks, then remove the connector.

   As you pull the red bit up... it pushes the connector out.
   
   So gently pull the wire on the lambda side as you pry the red thing up

   Cheers guys. Saw a little gap under the red tag and did stick a screwdriver in there to prize it open but didn't want to brake anything. Gonna have a play tomorrow. Cheers for the help, feel like such a fucking retard haha
