engine light came up so i took it to see what was up, its come up with the lambda probe being faulty, i found out its the one after the cat, the mechanic said it may be the cat but he cant be sure, said to fit the probe and if it doesnt sort it then fit new cat,


well how much are cats ? and if i fit the sensor its 156 quid fitted, its alot if its not that and its the cat, do you think this is a good oppertunity to upgrade

Hi mate. Funny you should say that the Lambda sensor is after the CAT. I thought the Lambda was on the downpipe, and the engine management sensor was after the CAT. Just fitted a Full Blue Flame S/Stl exhaust on my LCR so I have been meddling with the sensors, and was told that the Cat unit is V.expensive to replace. somewhere arond the £1000 quid mark!!!
The system I've recently purchased is from turbo-on, so cat's off and 100cell Hi-flow sports cat on. The system from Blue Flame was £540 delivered. Bloody good price I reckon! Goes like the clappers, and sounds awesome.

There are 2 lambda sensors, one before the cat and one after the cat. If you get an error it'll come up as bank1 side 1 or bank 1 side 2 iirc, side 1 is the pre cat sensor and bank 2 is the post cat sensor.

Unlikely to be the Cat, Rick. Did they reset it - ie is the light out at the moment?
