P0138 is circuit high voltage in post cat sensor
P0141 is heater circuit malfunction in post cat sensor

should be a duff lambda sensor then :)
Where can I get a lambda sensor from at short notice and what is involved in fitting it ie. can someone fit it for me :oops:

Would like to have it sorted for Donnington next week.

Elise parts delivered one next day and it had the correct thread lube on it . The post cat was quite easy to do on mine as it came out ok .Dropped the under tray and got a spanner on it . Slackening the wheel liner made it easier to get the loom out .

If its tight you can cut the wires off and get a socket on it I think.

Only if you have a very very deep socket or chop the old one off. Crows foot ratchet is best, but mine sheared off anyway and ripped out the thread in the manifold. It was nearly 10 years old though...

Getting the 2nd one out on a yota car is a bitch, as I found out when fitting my decat. I dont think I could have got it out had I not removed the two bolts at the manifold first. The problem is all the razor sharp heat shielding stuff that is around it and the wheelarch.

For what it would cost, once you have the part I would get drivers to do it for you or somewhere that does exhausts, it would save a lot of swearing and blood.
