O2 sensor after the cat. Bad sensor or bad cat.

Nah, Bank 1 and 2 are the two halves of a V8. On an I6 you only have Bank 1. Sensor 1 is the front one, sensor 2 is the rear one.

I bought a front one for my TJ recently from these people:  http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Bosch-Rear-Lambda ... 7C294%3A30 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Bosch-Rear-Lambda-Sensor-JEEP-Wrangler-4-0-01-97-12-98_W0QQitemZ180338051567QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item29fcfc49ef&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262&_trkparms=%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A30" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) Their delivery was a little slow 4-5 days IIRC. You can get unbranded universal ones which are a bit cheaper and some of them need the wires cutting and your old plug fixing to it, but I went with a Bosch branded one which was complete with the attached plug. :wink:

When I bought my TJ it had a loud rattle in the cat which was eventually replaced with a BM one: http://www.bmcatalysts.co.uk (http://www.bmcatalysts.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)  The cheapest one I could find on ebay at the moment is this one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CHRYSLER-WRANGLER ... 7C294%3A50 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CHRYSLER-WRANGLER-JEEP-4-0-1997-2001-CAT-CONVERTER_W0QQitemZ130310441941QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item1e571b8bd5&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) but I do recall seeing them even cheaper than this. Physically, the cat part seemed a lot smaller than the original one, but it’s worked fine.

You might find that your local Jeep Dealer is actually very reasonable for 02 sensors  :wink:

We don't have one in Birmingham any more! :-?

I was told by Mansfield 4x4 that if you need to buy a new Jeep you'll have to contact Jeep at Tongwell (HQ) thats if you live between Norf Lundun and "Wy eye mon" "Tup Norf".

My stealership only does spares and service now, mind you they also Deal with most of all the other European car makers, multi-stealers eh :wink:

You have to question the sense in building right hand drive Jeeps thesedays. They're not cool to own in
blighty after demonisation by the media and govt. Chrysler has no money, and neither does Fiat. They need
to direct their efforts to markets where they actually stand a chance of selling some vehicles.

My local Dealer isn't doing too badly, at least that's what he tells me. Granted it's the Patriot (with VW diesel engine) and Grand Cherokee (with Mercedes diesel engine) that are still selling ok. The Chrysler cars are crap and they know it but they still sell the odd voyager. He could be telling me complete BS but he has no real reason to, I'm not going to be buying a showroom car anytime soon I just use them for parts when the price is right.

No wonder Fiat wanted to buy up Chrysler, it wouldn't be a Yank Steed, it would be nearly all "Eyetallion", especialy as the engine is "Eyetallion" too.
