A few questions again.... after going to several garages on friday i got sick of people generally not wanting to give a shite about my car or wanting to diagnose it for me

basically ive got a X16XE and its running rich (240 miles to a tank rich)

ive replaced/tried .. CTS, plugs, leads, coil pack, cleaned ICV and EGR.
and changed oil/filter for good luck lol

Does this appear to point to the Lambda sensor? im think so, but i wanted a bit of advice before i spent £££

other wise its f*cking quick and im well chuffed

thanks
Shane

hmm, vauxhall ones are £££ but maybe there is a alternative part for less but id be worried that it would make it run lean/dodgy.

no, theres no EM light, its odd, it mis-fires a bit on tickover when its cold too, and now and again when its hot, but stinks of unburnt fuel - even with the CAT in place

no, but poor fuel economy, black exhaust pipe, unburnt fuel smells are surely a giveaway...

get it on a RR and get it checked. shoud only be about £30-50 and they will help diagnose the cause.
