Niall,
The problem with the lambda sensor was loom side, not the sensor its self. The plug that comes from the loom and plugs into the sensor had two wires hanging out of it. I cut this off and soldered a new loom side plug on which I'd managed to get.
Got it insured and taxed today. Not all rosey tonight. Left my mates unit to bring it home. After about 4 miles, its struggling to pull, pedal has gone very soft and it stinks. Pull over and there is smoke pouring from the drivers side wheel. Seems the binding caliper issue isnt fixed.
Luke bought a 205 rallye car project not long back which has nearly new GTi6/Rallye calipers on it. In at 06:30 tomorrow morning to change it out, bleed the brakes and get to Mallory!
