Well.. Tell a Lie.. It didn't break. The bolts vibrated themselves out. Resulting in a Leaning to one side Engine.

Made some new bolts and put them in, tightened up and it seems fine.

Also fitted the new Lamda sensor today to turn off the EML light - EML still on

Good day...

£99.50 for a fast road one, £107 for a competition one, from http://www.vibra-technics.co.uk, listed for a Nova, but it's the same.
