Does anyone have a lambda removal tool I can borrow please?
Had the 3.2 manual up on a 4 post lift today, and have decided to replace the pre cat lambda sensor on the 1-3-5 side to see if that makes any difference.
The owner of the 4 post lift did have a lambda removal tool, but it was stolen along with many other tools unfortunately.

Ive got a kit you can borrow if you still need it but im not exactly close(although i might be able to get them to oxford tomorrow afternoon/evening).  let me know .

Hello Lee,
That's a very kind offer...but I think I may be sorted now, but I really appreciate the offer 

No probs  just let me know if you find that you do need it.

Martin witnessed me changing both his fronts with an adjustable spanner, it's having wrists that bend the wrong way that helps. I thought the drivers side would be the hardest as the gap is smaller, tooke me half the time to do that one

Crowsfoot and small 3/8 bar?

Josh, you know I will pop up and change it for you (and it needs ruling out) but I still think it's a loom issue

I'm so bloody indecisive...I drove it today, and thought... 'mmm, this is a nice car'
I secretly want to fix it, but at the same time know I should sell it, I've been running more as a hobby than a business...and that's no good.

I went to Vauxhall today, and booked it in on the 18th 
I didn't want to hassle all the people I know who'd put themselves out for me, but I think I'll cancel tomorrow morning as they'll make a mess of it.

So, James...I think I'll accept your very kind offer, if that's ok.
I'll get a replacement lambda ordered

Booked it into Vauxhall  .... I'm going to give you a slap!!! 

Seriously mate, I wouldn't trust many dealers to diagnose something of this nature with competence.

Saturday 22nd.... I will be with you mid morning, and we'll have a good day at it.

You'll be walking then? Or will you have already been over to borrow some wheels?

I've no doubt I'll have found a suitable, right wheel drive, right number of cylinders, mode of transport, by then

I think I deserve a massive slap 
I really don't know why I did it, I know a fair few of them at my VX garage, and they're good guys...I explained them the issue and they seemed receptive. I thought as they've got 4 post lifts it'd be nice and easy for them. But, in reality...I know they'll find a list of jobs etc.

I appreciate that James, it'll give me a chance to have a quick look at your new chariot.

I'll give it a good clean, and use some of the chemicals etc I've got here to give it a good once over

Definately a deal 

Can  we use pub car park? I feel a loom changing session may be on the horizon.. which will need a solid jacking surface

Yeah...shouldn't be a problem...the pub manager's great. I shall check with him, but it shouldn't be an issue...as long as we have a drink in there afterwards

Go on then, twist my arm

  I thought you'd take a lot of persuading.
