As in the title, the bolt where the 2nd lambda sensor would go has subsequently fallen off whilst going down a motorway, first of all i heard it start rattling and then a clunk and then the exhaust just started blowing like hell straight away.

Since then i have been under the car and checked to see that it was deinfitly this and it was, the bolt is no longer there. Does anyone know if i can get a replacement from anywhere? Maybe kam racing have them lying around?

Im so annoyed lol it obviously wasnt tight enough when we fitted it, a small detail over looked.

thanks

yeah i got a rattle shortly after putting my system on. couldnt work out what it was until the bolt fell out whilst i was whacking the center section with a spanner.

i quite like the sound with the bolt out lol pretty intense.

im guessing you could stick any bolt in there if you knew the right size.

Lol are you kidding? it sounds shocking mate! and there is a loss of power! It is intense though ill give you that.

You think buying a new one will work? Any one want to send me theres if they dont need it? I will pay notes.

Seriously just get a motorfactor one there wont be anything special about the bolt mate. And theyre all undone cus if they were done up too tight they could seize which would suck if you wnted to take one out ;)

Or they didnt have any spanners at the factory :A:
I will take the one out of my old pipe at work on monday and see if i can match something up to it, but your not having the bolt itself
