Definately a blow lamp! mapp gas reallyRobsey wrote:I usually use plus-gas rather than WD40.
But if penetrant doesn't release the sensor, then see if you get a gas-torch on the sensor, then undo it whilst it is still hot.
Be aware that removing it may strip the insert of its threads

Re: 1995 SRi X20XEV won't start
1st of all check the plug on the lambda sensor as the fault indicates no continuity. the lambda sensor doesn't do anything while the engine is cold or on full throttle the coolant temperature can also cause awful running problems with no code thrown up the camshaft sensor will cause all kinds of pro...

Re: Opel Scanner - Does it work.?
Yes that is true. It is quite useful for programming keys to the Vectra-B / Omega-B anti-theft, central locking module, and it can clear air bag lights... But proper ECU Eeprom programming will need either Tech 1 for GM module related programming or a pukka programmer set-up with appropriate chip-s...

Re: Bedford Astravan MK2
The floor panels are indeed klokerholm, I'm just hoping that they are made of better metal than the nearside inner arch. It was a nightmare to weld due to crappy steel. That's the problem with older vehicles, you have to make use of what you can find rather than just popping down the Vauxhall deale...
