You won't find any greys on my car.

Basically I've got a engine management light on, the lambda sensor in the exhaust has gone, so it drinks fuel.

Fucking expensive though, at £110.

maybe a few years back that 'may' have been true with some tuners!!

i'd get it sorted asap,if it's been broke a while you'll also need an oil change too!!

£110 is expensive,if it's a bosch part then you know who to pm to get it cheaper
