Aye, thought so, been to a garage and they said it was the before the cat, so they changed it Ł173, management light came back on the next day took it back, they now have changed the one after the cat and they are trying to charge me another Ł107!

I told them when I first went in it as the one after the cat that needed changing!! Grrrrr

Ouch that's a lot of money for a sensor. I bought a genuine Ford pre-cat sensor for my st170 a couple of years back and it was Ł50!

Handy site to lookup codes, also for your "experts" at the garage: http://www.dtcsearch.com/P0141/
So they charged you for changing a perfectly good sensor and the work even when you warned them? How about a refund?

Ł49 to fit a lambda sensor? It'll take them longer to drive it on and off the ramp!
