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.

I used a Wellung666 - changed both very quickly

  indeed Martin, Lee is excellent. But unfortunately the vehicle that needs the new lambda doesn't have an MOT...so a trip up to Dudley is unfortunately out of the question.

iirc I just used a ring spanner :-/

[joshwyatt]

At first that's all I thought that would be needed Albs.
But the guy who let me use his 4 post lift said he doubt it'd be easy to get a spanner in there.
And he's certainly experienced in this, and from looking at it, I see what he means...I think the 3.2 manual is probably most like the 2.6 manual, rather than the 3.2 auto as the auto gearbox is larger and things may be in different places. That's the only issue wth ex police, some things are different.

had a quick look up there on another members 3.2 last week, didnt fancy getting that out without removing the cats, seemed very tight access as its above the pre cat.

Maybe remove the cat, swap the lambda, and run it up to Lee to move the second sensor to behind the main cat. (fix's the pre cat code issue, if present)

Thanks Chris 
Space is the issue, and I doubt you'd get a spanner in there. I've had a quick look on ebay, and found lambda removal tools for £23...doesn't seem bad and may come in handy again.
Does anyone know which are the best?

I could always come to you Josh I can get my arms up past the pre-cats

  that's a very kind offer Lee...but I can't let you come all the way from Dudley to fit a Lambda sensor.
But you can come and give it a wash for me

Josh, take a Tunnie along He's got "Go-Go-Gadget Arms"

[unlucky mark mv6]

It is doable josh with just a spanner(22mm IIRC),but is a bit fiddly,already done it mate.

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