[GazB]

my Lambda probe/sensor or whatever its called is fecked, will it hurt to drive it about or should it be fixed straight away?

put red ex in your fuel!!! my car was puffing black smoke and a nasty egg smell, i was told my lamdba and FPR was fooked.. ive been running red ex threw ever since.. it runs so much better and the smoke and smell have gone.
had a mot the the other day and i thought it would fail on emissions but it passed with flying colours, my lambda was reading 1.01 and the limits were between 0.97-1.03 not bad for a knackered lambda probe i thought.

fine as a temporary fix, not a good long term solution though.

you're masking the problem, not fixing it

it'll get done but not yet lol, it goes on my long list of things that need fixing
