Yes, as he says, it was mine, 5mm to take off the cat to block flange, drill and weld in the other lambda, job done.

And has your car been trouble free since the swap?

nitro - buy the required bits (about £15 from egay), new gaskets (cat to manifold), remove the cats and take them to an engineering firm, and bung them a few quid to drill the hole, and weld in the boss you bought.

Even if you sell the car afterwards, at least you are not selling with an EML on...

on this subject has anyone tried these "mil eliminators" that are availaible for not a lot off ebay ?, not specific to an Omega but seems to be a universal thing. basically seems to trick ECU into thinking all is well

Brett
Probably instructions on how to remove the bulb ::).

If the ECU is upset, always fix the cause ;)
