Hi pcbp97,

thanks for that info. I did however manage to find one on Ebay, which is now on the car. So that is the leak sorted.

Still... if there is anyone else that could help with the other issues I would be grateful. I took the car out for a spin earlier today and there is a very noticeable lack of power. I'm guessing it's to do with the Lambda issue, but I am loathe to change them, as they were changed recently.

I also noticed another problem which is the car seems to wonder all over the road at speed. It feels like it wont drive in a straight line and you have to keep adjusting the steering to keep her straight. Also if you hit a dip or bump in the road the steering wheel trys to jump out of your hands. Anyone any idea what this might be? Could it need tracking?

Cheers
Timpo
