front o2 sensor
No worries thanks for the info it's a start, i'm guessing the no1 is the 'upstream' sensor. Just seems strange that its only started playing up after the mot. I'll get it up on a ramp and have a look a bit more when i have the time

front o2 sensor
Sort of ish ! I'm at work so only had chance to drop the undertray and shine a torch round on my 'dinner break' so what we're saying is that it goes into the front of the 1st cat ? I know the cats are dead so i doubt i'll do any more damage to it.i'll see how it goes just been quoted 160 bits for a new one

idle dopping
Right it only happens occasionally and when taking the car out of gear doesn't matter if clutch is depressed or not. Knock out of gear and it will drop to around 500 rpm. Is there an electrical connection on gear selector to tell the car when in/out of gear ? Thought it may have been a clutch switch but i'm not convinced

11th November South Yorkshire meet.
Yep off the leash ! There was a few people on the previous thread making noises about coming. Suppose it's the time of year and what not. Its a 70mile round trip for me so would likebit to be worth while if you understand what i mean ? Maybe if not enough people yo get martin to open up a pub meet would be more appealing ? I'll be comubg straight after work as traffic's terrible

Forester Soundproofing?
Nah mines an early car 97. My factory speakers were knackered and not very gooe anyway. It's a component system which i've changed for some normal 3 ways in the door. Not as bassy as i'd like but i wasn't gonna spend a fortune on speakers this time as i've got other things. Have you all the under bonnet insulation in place ? Quiet a lot of people seem to remove it to hear engine noise. I've no idea whats inside the doors as i'm not honna pull anything apart that doean't need it.

Forester Soundproofing?
Im surprised the first trip i did in mine was 230miles and the old man commented on how quiet and smooth the ride was. I have to say at motorway crusing speeds i thought the ride was quite civilised for a big arsed car. Do you have an afternarket exhaust ?

cheap mods
After a couple of days driving i can't beleive the difference the brace has made. I've always been a bit sceptical of them more for show and a placebo thing. But it has inceeased the stiffness and randomly it idles quieter. Maybe its stopped the enging from moving as much. Hopefully with a new pitch stopper it will feel like new
