redwine300

Any results yet?

Now you tell me! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: As for price, I paid £60 each plus £20 shipping. Ouch! Still, after a couple of hours and a few layers of skin, I managed to get both of the little b*ggers out without too much drama!! Well relieved to say the least!!!

Nissan 0 Redwine 2! Managed to get both 02 sensors removed today! Well relieved. Hopefully get the OEM ones early next week

Well, all week I have been soaking both 02 sensors in plus gas ready for removal tomorrow. Fingers crossed!! Hopefully tomorrow I will be posting, "Removed both 02 sensors ready for new ones")

Might be worth asking why the car got laid up. Was it running OK before hand?

Hi Andy, I am replacing them.

Cheers Noz!! (And all the other suggestions guys)

About to tackle removing both 02 sensors at the week end. :scared: Can someone tell me the exact size socket I will need please?:confused1:

485bhp

Call that a turban?

Does it also let you know about your fluid level? worth a check.

:sad:Concourse 2.8 Capri. Rosso red. A close second was my Holbay Hunter GLS Wolfrace wheels with 5 slots and 9 1/2" J's all round.

300's are known for the fuel lines becoming loose, especially in the winter. pop the bonnet and go around all the clips with a screwdriver and tighten them a bit. Some are a bit difficult due to being out of sight mind. As for being thirsty, that zeds for you! lol

Fascinating stuff Jeff. Hats off to you for taking the time to post also.

Nice one Steams. Thought I might share this. Having ordered my replacement 02 sensors, a couple of deep impact sockets and a long 1/2" extension, I thought about soaking the little bliters in Plus Gas. how do I get the stuff to the base of the sensor I thought? so, after scratting around my shed, I found a 2 foot length of copper brake pipe left over from my recent repairs. I straightened it out and flattened off one end so as to get the fluid right where I needed it. worked a treat!! I will do this each night this week, mind you, getting to them with a socket will no doubt be a different matter.

No problem Steams, I just really appreciate the help and advice mate. :thumbup1: The reason I suppose I am clutching at straws with regards to trying the ECU, is the forlorn hope that maybe the unit is at fault and not the 02 sensors.:whistling: I've just priced some OEM ones up and fell off my chair!! :sad: Could not believe the price!:taz: Still, will just have to bite the bullet and get them ordered. With a bit of luck I can get them fitted over the week end. That's if I can get the old ones out that is. I am going to start soaking them in plus-gas every night this week.

I was hoping to try the swap over tomorrow night, what do we think?

Steams, I know this may seem odd, but I have had a really close look at the ECU, and not only is there no screw, there is now switching unit in there either. I remembered the car came to me with a second ECU in the boot, so I had a look at that one as a comparison, that has the screw and the switching unit intact. Would it be worth swapping ECU's over, or is that asking for trouble?

Cheers Steams.:thumbup1: I guess I am going through the disheartened stage of problem solving at the moment. :confused1: Bl**dy Zeds, lol

Decided to try another route, so I read up about putting the ECU into diagnostic mode 2 and check the o2 sensors individually. Never keen on messing with delicate electrical items but thought, what harm can I do. Anyway, after stripping back the carpet and removing the ECU far enough to see it from all sides, I then got even more confused. I found the red bulb sure enough, but there is just a gaping hole where I presume the setting screw should be!! Is this normal? if so is there another way of activating diagnostic mode 2 on the ECU. Please don't loose interest guys, I know this thread may becoming tedious but I really do need your help.

Looks like you we're right all along Znut I think I was in denial. Do these things make a big difference to performance or just mainly MPG?
