Day 4.
It really does growl at low speed.
Then when I crank it up it roars.
Am a little worried now.
All this noise and drama could attract a few points on my licence.
Batman never had heated seats did he?

Someone please point me in the right direction for correct replacement exterior badges from the Ford ones.
Cougar decals.
Front grill, tail and wheels please.
Seen them all on eBay but need to be sure what is the correct swap.
My Cougar chrome lettering on the back could be changed too as the R currently looks like a P.
Like the full boot spread format.

Maybe it spotted my other car was a Land Rover
 
This weather and all the salt reminds me why black cars need to be washed more often. A forty minute drive to work turns my Cougar greyer than grandma.

Ditto. Never own a black or white car unless you own a lot of microfibre products.
 
Local motor factors has advised only one lambda sensor on my 51 plate v6. Quoting £48 plus vat for part. Is it an easily accessible part to swap?

Also unclear on engine size. V5 docs say 2495cc whereas searches show my reg as 2544cc. Is this due to standard profiling and which one would be right?

Bank 1 sensor 2
P1000 obd 11 cycle not completed
P0136 02 sensor circuit malfunction bank 1 sensor 2
P0141 02 sensor circuit bank 1 sensor 2
Fault code cleared and light stayed off for now

Report details above are word for word.
Make sense? Not to me.

This is the confusing bit to me as it clearly says sensor 2 which would be post cat. Think I need to get underneath to see how accessible. Hoping its an easy swap and no more than a ten minute job.

Shame I couldn't find any pics of underbody close ups.

I think bank 1 is the front....not 100% on that but fairly sure that stood at the front of the engine (offside wing) bank one is right and bank two the left

Stood at the passenger wing, longitudinally that's the back of the engine.

Standing at the front of the car, I believe bank 1 is the front of the engine immediately behind the radiator and bank 2 is the rear of the engine.
