Thanks for the link. But why is it so expensive?
when you have a look on their web site the price is nearly half that!

I was on the powerflex website and expected to buy directly on the site... but apparently it is not possible!

Re: MOT failure-Lambda reading- Need a new exhaust??
Hi guys. MOT has passed!!!! Soooooooooo happy!
So, i'll have a new lambda sensor to resell... has done 10 miles on my car!
The problem was the exhaust and not the lambda sensor.
And I bought the bracket which appear on the firsl link del gave me. So it should be fine, no need of a hammer!

Anyone ever bought an exhaust from euro car parts? Or car parts for less?
