New lambda where to get one?

[Ettienne]

Thanks Graeme I've found some low miles ones in workshop.

Ok, next time I'll take it for a spin up around the bypass and get it nice and hot. Then put gloves on to whip it out.

Yep, give it 10 minutes to cool a little as there's not many places to put your arms where they won't get burned.

a hot air gun will get it hot enough to remove

There is no service maintenance from Volvo for O2 sensors as they give there best between 60 and 100,000 miles......should change both at the same time as they wear at the same rate.......most think that the front sensor is the only one that is important for fuel but the rear one communicates with the front one apart from checking the cats. efficiency and tells the front one to further fine trim the fuel........... wait for the emissions light or fuel economy and performance is bad!

Thanks I've had the light on but that was for an air leak, it's economy is the worst I've had, I'll try the matched pair of lambdas I have and see how that works out.

Checked my tyre pressures today (cold) 25-27 psi, may explain a little.

I've pumped them up to 36psi, should improv things slightly

err, that will improve things massively, let alone slightly!

You should check your tyre pressures more frequently.

I had new tyres fitted and trusted the fitter to put correct pressure in, maybe there gauge was drastically out.

I have a digital gauge from when I used track ride bikes, very accurate but the asda digital pump is very good as well as I've compared the,.
