Great How-To Video! One thing that can be done as well as angling the sensor upwards to increase the longevity of it is to wire in a delay timer for the gauge. The biggest killer of Lambda sensors is heating the element and then it being hit with condensation from a cold exhaust. Adding a 30s delay to the heating of the element can increase the life of the sensor quite drastically! Possibly not essential if the car is used in-frequently, a sensor will probably last a year or two but if used daily, it may save a £80 bill every 8 months or so. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the comment, the gauge certainly helped identify that I had some lean spots higher up the rev range and I was able to select a richer needle. I’ve recently had it tuned by AC Dodd who perfected it more from there.
Cheers! Just getting ready to do this on my mini.
Pretty cool. Welding looked very neat too.

Thanks for the comment, yes the sensor should be fitted minimum 10deg above horizon. I’m not sure what angle I got mine to fit but it’s above horizon
Great job Matt, did yous have to adjust much on the current tune? any link to where you got the sensor from?
