    Haven't done any warm starts yet, but it was lashing it down on the way back from the garage and sometimes it would do it when there was a lot of standing water on the roads. So far so good

    from the part numbers on mine it also seems to be the same part for the CRX, civic '92 onwards & MG ZR! yup, new sensor in there too. I did give it a damn good soaking with plus gas the other weekend.. might have helped a wee bit, but I'm sure that the massive blowtorch had more say in the matter

    After 2 hours got both jobs done for £15 Bargain! They had a bit of a mare getting the exhaust on though... Somehow one of the bolts didn't line up. Pleased i decided not to try to do it on my back on the drive

    DIRTY! Then shiny

    Currently getting fitted at the friendly local exhaust place.. Going to see if they can get the o2 sensor swapped as well. Fingers crossed

    Nope... And i didn't need to use any products from holts either... Speaking of which, I saw this in halfords at the weekend when buying another exhaust bandage Class

    Had a bit of a result with the exhaust... the (mild steel) supersprint centre section that was blowing was one that was replaced a few years ago just before the 2 year warranty expired (just for being pretty badly corroded and not blowing at that time). I emailed supersprint to double check that it wasn't covered by a warranty (was pretty sure that it wasn't), and when they confirmed that it wasn't, I (slightly cheekilly) asked if they would offer me any discount on a replacement stainless one (the mild steel option has been discontinued for some reason...). I nearly fell off my seat when the reply was - yes, 50% with free shipping (from Italy). I had to give them proof of purchase for the original one of course. With a decent exchange rate on the Euro at the mo, it's worked out very well Amazing customer service from them - I was really impressed when the first swapped the exhaust without it blowing (lasted months after getting the replacement), and even more now.

    Also never had any problems with the bosch ones... Had sparco ones before that and they broke one winter coz the plastic went brittle.

    Mine was 99p off the bay of e. Good info on the sump though... Mines oozing a bit as well of late.

    The other thread reminded me about this on, and thought that i should give an update. The couple of weeks ago my mechanic dude tried to fit my new lamda, but the old one was well stuck in. Anyway, the wires got trashed in the process, so have been driving around without the sensor connecte, and haven't had the problem. Once the engine light briefly wasn't on, and the problem came back, but as soon as the light came back on (don't know if it had temporarily made a connection) the problem stopped. So lambda sensor it is then. Just need to get the fecker out now

    Quite like the look of those mirrors... Different but not silly looking like some aftermarket ones.
