If the f reg car in your siggy has a L6 it doesn't do closed loop.
My diagram lists 1 and 2 as the lambda wires.

You CAN NOT get power from the fuel pump trigger. This is an earth connection.
You have to get the power from the fuel pump relay.

i thought that what what he meant tabs, as tabs has said, p28 on the ecu is a switched earth, not a switched live, you need to connect it to Pin 87 on the fuel pump relay.

Original relay is probably behind the dash still. Has a red and black feed wire on a yellow relay.

Sorry for jumping on the band wagon here but how do you know which wire of the lambda sensor goes where , i have a lambda sensor with 2 white wires and 1 black (presumably to pin 1 ) , this was supplied by stu on a car i have now broke and want to put it on my 3dr with the L8 .

I was right, i just asked him for you and he knew off the top of his head.

He said the black one is the signal output wire and goes to pin 2 of your L8/P8 and the white ones are the heater power supply and thus need wiring to live and earth. These are NOT polarity conscious, so wire them how you like.

Hes a top man.
