Your right in what your saying about the rear O2 sensor. And your right with your 2 options.
I have a spare weld on boss you can buy for a few quid of you want to fit the standard sensor. Your problem then is that you don't have a cat so it may throw up an ecu light.
I also make the O2 simulators to replace the sensor. You can cut the wiring and mount it under the passenger seat. Or I suggest you mount it in the engine bay in the ecu box.
Let me know.

Sparkystav Your problem then is that you don't have a cat so it may throw up an ecu light.I don't intend to decat the car. I've got some pretty impressive back problems and can't tell when I might be out of action for a month, so I don't want the hassle of hoping I'm fit enough to refit the cat around MOT time.
The reasons for fitting the o2 sim would just be down to ease of install over cutting and welding a new exhaust, But the more I think about it the more I'm edging toward fitting the lambda back into the replacement system.
Another question though, The agro involved in digging my brothers tig welder out of his garage (1/2 stacked to the roof with tools and car parts, The other half is more of the same but in a gentle slope to the back of the doors !!!

means it'll probably be easier just to go to his work and weld it in using their kit.So I know I've cut the hole in the right place I'd prefer to fit the exhaust on the car before going over there. I'm wondering if driving it a few miles with the rear lambda sensor disconnected would cause any problems? I'm assuming that it would just cause the warning light to come on while I'm on route. When it's reconnected will the ECU decide that every things OK again and shut the warning light back off, Or will I need to get someone with a code reader thingamabob to tell the ECU to stop whining?

With regard to if the ECU will turn off the warning light or not I can't be sure as I've never had the issue
What I did and this is no way gospel is held the center pipe next to the original and marked where it needed cutting then with it off the car cut it made life a lot easier.

I hope that's all in the past now.
I've got a big thing about people who drive car's having basic roadside repair knowledge.
It's alright saying "If it breaks down I'll call the RAC/AA", But what if your in the middle of nowhere? What if you've forgot your phone or it's battery's flat?
I'm not saying that everyone with a car should be able to do a full service while blindfolded, But people don't even have to know the basic stuff to be allowed to drive a car.
The current driving test's getting slightly better in this regard. Candidates now have to point to the places under the bonnet where the oil, water and brake fluid goes, But I'd prefer it if they at least got to the level of asking them to describe how they would change a wheel or replace a headlight bulb...... Uber basic things that you SHOULD be able to do on the side of the road.
So Pretty Purple Pagan lady, The whole "Getting dad to fix it" thing, Am I right in assuming that this is all in the past (To be honest, I won't believe anything you say till I see photographic proof of black grease under your fingernails. :tongue_smilie
?Anyway, Back on topic.....
Lexuspat What I did and this is no way gospel is held the center pipe next to the original and marked where it needed cutting then with it off the car cut it made life a lot easier.
Good point well made. That would be the best way of doing it. I was just trying to minimise the whole "Laying under the car with a bad back" thing*. But your right, having a 10 minute "pre welding" roll around under my car is probably the easiest way to go.
Scotty B.
(* I was hoping I could persuade my brother wave a tig welder at the lambda boss as my welding looks like it came out of a pigeons 4rse. His on the other hand looks like it was done by some sort of high precision CNC welding rig. It really is that good! If you look in manuals about welding the example pictures look ropey compared to the constant width of weld with perfectly spaced crescents that he can kick out as a "Rush job".......... If it wasn't for me getting the good looks and sparkling personality I'd probably resent him getting all the bl00dy talent.
I was also hoping that me mentioning how much my back's hurting at the minute could persuade him to crawl under the car to fit the boss for me, Thus halving my required number of under car excursions to a reasonably manageable total of 1. :whistling

Anyway, Next questions......
Am I right in thinking that the hex nut bit of the post cat lambda sensor is 22mm?
If so (As I haven't had chance to find one of those special slotted sockets yet), How likely is it that I would be able to remove the lambda with an open ended spanner?

Well, I got the exhaust (Bit of a strange turn of event's there, I'll go into that when I get chance).

07-07-2019, 01:57 PM #19Lol calling my Dad is well in the past, he has been gone from this world almost twenty years and missed terribly every single day of that! He taught me well, to the degree that he promised me my first car was on him if I passed my test first time.. What I neglected to check was the small print, he bought it, stripped it into four million bits and taught mr what each and every last little piece of metal and plastic was as I made a car out of it. Finances for my first ten years of driving meant I changed my own brake pads, oil, coolants, plugs, points and belts and bodged repairs to anything that might fail an mot ... But the miracle mechanic that was my beloved father left me with an ability to be resourceful.. I like driving, I don't like fixing or getting grease under my nails... I have an amazing mechanic and the greatest friends to help me out of trouble and of course my trusty AA card for the dire emergencies.. Although they won't know where to start with my car! .. So .. I make no apologies or excuses.. And I will not be ashamed of understanding the principles of how my car functions and what happens when I press various pedals and buttons but I wholeheartedly choose to drive her over fix her and am happy to work extra hard to earn the money to pay for that privilege
