Hello gang
I am just about to get rid of the cat on my 'S' and was wondering if I still fit tha lambada sensor??? The pipe does have the plugs, but not sure about this at all.... Also will this play havoc with the ECU??? this one is a bit hi tech for this plugs and points type of guy

thanks Nigel

Yep, you need to fit the sensor or the ecu won't be able to sort the fuelling out

Nowt else needed, the ecu will reset itself to the info it receives through the decatted cat and fix it all up, however, you never know :Whistle:

when i put a decat on my s there was a light come up on my dash so i got a
o2 senser from the states, it was really easy to fit and it turned out the light, all it dose is send a false reading to the ecu to make it think the cat is still there. :thumbs up:

well got the manifold fitted tonight and the decat .. i had two lambada sensors on the old manifold one at the top near the head and one after the cat... the new system has two holes so i fitted them both .... no engine management lights so i guess we are good cheers for all your help everyone

after all that the drivers side window will not open or drop when the door opens any ideas before i check in to it ... the relay is clicking so i know i am getting power

thanks for your help getting ready for knockhill tomorrow
