Lambda sensors: easy to change?

[Kermit]

All,

I've got an 02 LC. A little while ago I had a 'fuel too rich' error come up from an EML warning. Suspected the MAF and replaced that yesterday, but the error still persists and the car feels lacking in power. I haven't cleared the error codes - should I need to, or should the car clear the code itself eventually if it's fixed the problem?

Assuming that doesn't fix it, it's going to be a lambda sensor - but which one? And are they easy to fix yourself?

Thanks all.

I waited until mine gave up totally as @ £89 a pop, i wasnt buying two just for the sake of it. Im sure theyl be cheaper for the LC tho. Just make sure you get a genuine one, i know there are alot of cheap copys about, as with MAF's.

Plus gas and a ring spanner. Cut the plug off and slide the ring over the wire. Mine was 22mm but thats on an LCR.

Good luck!
