Re: 214 Lambda issues

Yes, it's 435mv so either 2 new lambda sensor's aren't working or ecu? Does the ecu use a default value of 435mv if the lambda sensor is unplugged?

Cheers

214 Lambda issues

Hi Rover people, My faithful k-series 1.4 engine is running rich. This became apparent after noticing the MPG drop and struggling on MOT emissions.

Re: Steering rack ratio

...also, is there anyone breaking for spares a Rover 200/400/coupe/MG ZR near to Leicester? I need the bumper, bonnet, slam panel, both front suspension subframes, steering rack and maybe front suspension... I can remove these parts if that brings the cost down?

Cheers
