New o2 sensors, new cats, exhaust leaks fixed, and replaced spark plugs

 

she feels like a new car now, and really makes putting off selling her a lot easier, all I have to do is tighten up the front belts and she will sold perfect,

 

still no idea why the idle is about 150rpm over base, I guess its time to start getting the boost leak detector out, its well worth getting your car on a conzult, I can honestly say in 3 years of ownership she has never driven so well since the o2's were replaced, also mpg has got a lot better, doing about 50miles more per a tank :eek:

Sounds good Mike, How bad were your o2 sensors...completely dead or just lazy ?

 

Conzult shows a lazy LH o2 sensor, compared to the Right on mine. At idle it does'nt move at all, and at 2000rpm it responds slower then the RH sensor.

 

Just deciding wether its best to change mine.

New cats? :wack: How much did they set you back?

I got mine from a animal rescue centre Pete .. Oppps wrong Cats .. bugger

cats were second hand cost 70quid for the pair,

 

left o2 was dead as a dodo, right was slightly less dead but wouldnt register over about .6 volts.

 

i've always had one lazy sensor, tbh its worth doing them just because they will last a while once done.
