EGT or O2 Plug Needed (help required)

[patsy]

I was driving home from work late last night. The Borders road home to Edinburgh was quiet and I couldn't resist the urge to stretch the cars legs a bit. But all was lived rather short because after the first few miles to warm things up properly I introduced some mild boost in 6th and after a few seconds boost dropped right off and the exhaust was sounding like it had just fell off! Turns out the small plug/bung that filled the hole where the sensor used to be in the headers is missing. Had a quick look in the dark with a torch, but couldn't see it laying on the road. So I nursed her the 30 odd miles home and got some funny looks when eventually in the town at juntions or pulling away a lights. That little hole makes a rather loud noise for it's size likes.

The headers are the Gt Spec Gen. 2 tubular type, if that makes much difference. Where will I get another plug or has anyone got one kicking about spare? I ideally need one so I can drive to work this week.

Cheers

Ryan

best bet is get the bolt welded on, mine is on the de-cat up pipe, your H&S i got will be fitted once a get a set of headers and a bolt fitted and welded on

No idea why you would want to weld the bolt on just make sure its tight and it shouldnt come off. Never had an issue on my RA or road car neither have come off. If you weld it up you will not then be able to fit a wideband if you wanted to.

Was planning on giving you guys a shout Monday morning Barry. Didn't want to bother SW on a Sunday. I will more than likely nip out and see if I can knick a suitable replacement plug to get me up and running.

Thanks for that Arch. That'll be my plan B. I'm trying closer to home first. Before I mail order and wait a couple days on postage. I had no luck today, so thumbing a lift to work tomorrow! Lol. I use my motor everyday so I need to get it sorted asap. Also don't have paypal to hand or any half decent internet access, only my old crappy mobile for surfing- slowly I may add!!

Pm'd you Barry.

Can't pm you. Some error, not sure if it's my fault or your inbox is full or something?

Still after a plug if anyone has one I could come collect within a reasonable distance around Edinburgh today.

All sorted now. Stevie Whitson to the rescue again. He went out of his way on a day off to get me a plug. All buttoned up and back on the road.

Thanks SW Motorsport
