'allow 'allow

I need to change my lambda sensor soon, usually I take the manifold off but this is the first time in ages I've had it leak free so I don't really want to disturb it. Had a quick feel up the bulkhead today and it's still as narrow as ever! :-

How does everyone else do theirs? I don't want to be going to mr break everything garage man... ha

Thanks, Ryan :teehee:

It's a pig on an MPi, you can get the special socket on but can't get a turn on it, best to slacken off the manifold bolts and lift of the inlet manifold ?

Mines on the opposite side to that, looking at the brake servo.

And yeah, you can't get a turn on it with a ratchet! :)

Keep them coming... lol

Thankssss :thumbsup:
