I've tried a search but can't seem to find correct answers. Does my 2001 MEMS 3 MGF have two of these sensors, one pre and one post cat?
I want to order one/two but being around £60 each I don't wanna waste money unnecessarily.
I've seen these on Rimmers and have checked my VIN number which appears to say I need 2.

I'd rather original than eBay aftermarket ones.

Re: O2/Lamda sensors
You should be able to see the post cat (if it has one) by looking through the nearside rear wheel arch. If you can see a post cat sensor you'll need two. They're a pain to get out if they've been in place for some time.

Re: O2/Lamda sensors
As far as I know all MEMS 3 cars will have two sensors but as above it is better to do a vasal inspection. As much as I like to work on my own car it for me it would be a job I would let a local exhaust place do!

Re: O2/Lamda sensors
Not all MEMS3 cars do have two sensors - but any vehicle registered after 1st January 2001 had to be EU3 homologated by law - so will have the post cat Lambda, along with the fuel enrichment lambda sensor in the exhaust manifold.
