Lambda extraction ???
Discussion
Aha ! It turned out that all I had to do was remove the Chassis Brace and the Cats. Open-ended could then get in.
Of course, as usual, that raises another question.
In madmark's guide to Clutch replacement he mentions replacing the Lambdas into their respective manifolds.
Now why would you have to do this ?
Lambdas aren't adjustable are they ?
They just read and send values don't they ?
If this is so, is there anything that has to be reset when you install new ons ?
Thanks for any opininons and advice that you can profer.

Oh good grief rog, now you're starting to panic me 
When you say "harness plug" I'm not sure what you mean.
I have two cables for the Lmbdas emerging at the back of the engine block which have their respective sockets on them.
I've just pulled the plug out from the old lambda and stuck the new Lambda plug into the 'loom' socket a la ....
Have I cocked it up ?????

Listen, I've admitted I'm dumb to everyone before so this will not surprise
anyone to hear that I don't understand what you're trying to get across to me.
BUT
Both the Lambdas are new.
There's no way trhat the ECU will know which feed is coming from which bank.
Will it ??
Surely it reads the lambda info and then adjusts the fuelling to each (set) of injectors.
It doesn't have a memory of what fuel settings it has provided does it ?
Each time you turn the engine on it starts from blank and then adjusts dynamically doesn't it ?
Please excuse the level of density
and A BIG THANK YOU for trying.

The ECU is wired to the cars main Loom so each bank of cylinders has one of those lamda plugs pre determined for each bank of cylinders a left bank and a right bank, so if you swap them round the ECU is looking for values for the correct O2 reading going back to it. So if the lamda is reading for the wrong bank it will try and adjust the fueling to correct it's self and in turn run like a bag of spanners. So the memory is in the ECU your Map it makes no odds if you fit new or old ones it will not know but cross the plugs over to the wrong bank it will run ruff.anyone to hear that I don't understand what you're trying to get across to me.

Scotty, if you are not a teacher then you are wasting your talents.Scotty
Thank you very much for your tenacity and a perfect explanation
Mr. Dullo !
I am Glad it came across how it was in my mind, most people don't under stand my logic but it makes perfect sense to me lol.
Hope you get it all sorted in the end and that's what Piston heads is for i am always learning from this place it's great
I hate Knowledge is power kind of people, Sharing is better for every one
