sensor fits into the last part of the manifold before the cat starts.

It clips into the wiring loom which attaches to the passenger side of the front subframe.

The sensor has around 150mm of free cable attached mate.

think you need a 22mm spanner to unscrew it from the manifold pipe.

:D

Thank you!...I assume putting the car on ramps is the easiest way to access it?

Ramps will be great . :D

When I got my new one I changed it in the car park there and then.

Renault jack (front drivers side up) 22mm spanner (if that is right) and away I went :)

Ive had one that would not move at all.. even if i stood on the spanner and jumped..they can be stiff.
