It may have just been someone changing the flexi pipes.

The connectors for the secondary O2 sensors are underneath the trim panel behind the airbox.

Interesting that yours has a heat shield between the cat and gearbox cooling pipes. Mine doesn't have that.
Yes its an AMX engine. so looks like I am going to have to look for a new downpipe. Yes there are cats under the gearbox too. Well they were, they were shot and i had them replaced for aftermarket jobs. Attached Pic. - well i think they are cats - I am still trying to catch up with all this mechanical stuff. last time I played with engines it was powerpacks on Chieftain tanks.

Behind air box, right I will go hunting tomorrow for that.

Many thanks
