Alam

There's no oxygen sensor on UK 3.2's, so wonder where it's come from?

Doesn't really help you though!

Cheers

oohh thats interesting. Thats why the premuffler oxygen sensor must be blanked off.

Hmmnn..

You can see the O2 sensor or what looks like it attached to the bumper strut in the pic.

Would do you think?

Looks like an O2 sensor to me - is it connected inside the engine bay (follow the wire inside and you'll find it)?

I'm pretty sure they run happily without being connected - my T2 had a faulty sensor for a while and was run without (on the advice of the garage) ill effect.

Anybody else able to help Alam?

Been on Pelican today and trying to find a rear box to work with my 3.2..

I cant afford the total stainless SSI route quite yet.

Trying to find a Flowmaster box from a Camaro to use perhaps. Its a real shame the stock Dansk rear box won't fit under the RS bumper. :|

I may get a Stainless Dansk premuffler and then try to fina a cost effective alternative for the rear box. Or get a temporary rig until I can go totally SSI from exchangers to box.

For the meanwhile I have to rig something up to get the car out of the garage and on the road where it belongs.

:) What to do..
