Yea this /\. Also we may have a spare o2 sensor socket that i could send you to use. But will have to check tomorrow at work for you. Would give you the best chance of getting it out.

How does the socket come out the? cheers chris.
*Edit* you mean a ratchet socket for getting the sensor out?

I will pop in and have a chat with the guy today and see how many times he is willing to get me on the emissions tester. if he is happy to do it a couple of times i will bung some cataclean in and take it in, if its still over i'll do the o2 sensor, still over i'll change the cat, still over a jaunt to salisbury!

Yea its a socket the slides over the o2 sensor loom and will not round it off. It has a gap in the main body to accommodate the loom. Just had a look and we only have the one. Was told our second one was broken and thrown

im away for the weekend so i cant check it myself, but what size will i need? a deep or shallow one? and its 22mm yeah?

I think it is 22mm. Can anyone else confirm this?
Anyone of the sockets on the link should be fine as you just need a notch in the socket to get the o2's wire out of the way.

So i called in to see the mot guy today and he is cool about the emissions retesting. gonna wait for that socket to arrive and will have a crack and changing the lambda sensor then chuck a bottle of cataclean through the system and go for a retest. hopefully wont have to change the cat!
