It determines how much air/fuel mixture to use based on engine load and throttle position.
I think, someone correct me if i'm wrong

- there are a number of after-market lambda sensors that will work fine and save you ££££s over the Vaux item. Any decent motor factor should be able to help - as Tomas says - expect to pay around £40
