I needed to replace my front lamda sensor yesterday as the exhaust gas warning light came on the other day.If its put on one of them machines at the garage im sure they can tell which one.

U can get them from northwest performance for bout £60 inc vat compared to the one i had to get from renault for about £72 inc vat as needed it asap while it was in for its service.

ive got no lights on thats the thing, is one of them more prone to failure than the other??

cheers

Its normally the one that runs out of the cat that fails on a regular basis and that is about £115 iirc.

You'll be able to get one from any half decent motorfactor, like GSF.

Just rang GSF they say, both front and back lambda sensors are the same, £44 + VAT each?? does this sound right??

cheers.

yes. The control unit will then look for different inputs.
