It`s not the sensor mate it`s the pre-cat falling below set emissions level, sensor needs to be moved to after pre-cat

swop the lambda sensors round n see how it goes,driving round with the light on is annoying,but doing this eventually leads to a duff cat,then things do start to get expensive...i learnt this to my cost... :)

i think i would rather replace the cat.so is this the one at the rear not the top one,any links to the best place to get them.
