Hi,
I had emailed Roose motorsport last year about their silicon hoses. They said their hoses were no longer oat resistant as the base product to manufacture those had become to expensive. Probably best to email them to check before buying. Best wishes Simon

Thank you James. Taking a ferry to Bilbao and driving back through Spain and France has been to my to do list. Can’t wait until normal travel settles down. Take care.

Thanks David,
                       That is really helpful. Just about to take an 8.5hr ferry from Liverpool to Belfast to see the outlaws (family). Didn’t want to be stuck on the car deck with lots of friendly smiles in my direction at our destination!!.

Hi,
     Taking this thread off at a bit of a tangent. I had a question on how to easily disable the car alarm for going on long ferry journeys so the battery doesn’t go flat by the alarm going off repeatedly. Apologies if this is basic question. 

best wishes

Hi Robbie,
                  I have a LE500 but I have looked at the pre SAIC MGTF manual and it should be in the same area. As you have an 04 plate the there should be pre and post cat o2 sensor.
I have copied the page from manual.
Have you followed the wires upwards from underneath the car where they cut it off assuming they are still there.
There should be the remnants of the harness if they pulled the whole o2 sensor wiring out with the cat. 
Sorry can’t be of much more help
Good luck

Simon

Hi Robbie,
                The o2 sensor is found between ecu and back of airbox on my car. It is black and had 4 wires coming out of it. It has a plug-in tab and needs to be pulled upwards to free it from the mounting plate. The push in tab at the bottom of the connector can be swapped over to the the connector of new sensor. I would try and leave old o2 sensor in at the moment and use old cut wires to tie around new sensor so that your can pull it up into the engine bay. I have an old heat shield that is intact and but needs resilvered if you want that. I will try and post photos below of o2 sensor connector.
