ive just got my valver sorted, started her up, and shes hunting, idle is constantly going between 650 and 1500, but calms down abit after warming up, but its always this bad when started up. Im beginning to think a sensor is giving a shite reading? any help or advice appreciated.

wow quick reply!! ok, how much are they new? i'll order one when i have enough money, grrr, ive only just put the down pipe up on the exhaust lol!! i put it on the gas analyser at work and the HCO was through the roof, so this would also be explained by a dodgy lambda.

have you done one before? do i need to drop the down pipe again?

Many Thanks

can get them in halfords in the £40 region, GSF £60 or renault £100000000000000000000000000

easy to change, no need to drop the d/pipe, just crawl under with a spanner...when its cold i may add
