ACaterhamCalledFern Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Hi I have looked but is there a list somewhere of part numbers? What I'm specifically after is a lambda sensor for a 2012 sigma fixed cam (I can't read the number on mine). Also a part number for a thermostat and thermostat housing if anyone knows what it is? Sorry if I've missed a list of part numbers somewhere. Thanks James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Jonathan Kay Posted June 8, 2023 Member Share Posted June 8, 2023 For all of those I'd start with Redline. One of the many advantages being that you don't need to know the part number!JonathanPS: I'll add something about how to find this stuff out.

lazyrafter Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Hi,On my 2008 fixed cam the Bosch part number is 0258 006 599/600. Photo from another Caterham post for reference. If you take some brasso to yours and remove the surface oxidation you will see it stamped on the sensor.I had more luck searching on Ford equivalent number 3M51 9F 472 BC. Focus Mk 2, there are a number of after market alternatives.Bosch seem hard to find but both Caterham and Sevens and Classics had stock when I checked.I found an aftermarket equivalent from Valeo at 1/3 of the cost but have not been able to fit it as I can't separate the old one from the catalytic converter yet', no jobs are ever straightforward on the Cat.Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR400D Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Find the number and have a good look around for the genuine part because it's often the case that you can find them much cheaper than you might think. For instance I bought one Tuesday for my Duratec at £38 on Amazon. (That's give up to £50 now but still cheaper than many other places)Incorrect advice though, it does fit, and is exactly what the car had originally.

PlastererPete Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I've used Autodoc for a few orders now and the prices are good/comparable to Euro Car Parts but have vastly more options. I recently got a new lambda for my CSR (Bosch 0258003229). Directly replacement for the original part and a 1/3rd of the price of Caterham (£55 from Autodoc).

Amos91 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 If you Google 'focus 1.6 thermostat housing', quite a few come up. From memory it looks like this (?)https://www.eurocarparts.com/search/209592020?gclid=CjwKCAjwvpCkBhB4EiwAujULMvfGVhxa5mIS4n3xdFXjQ6TYEj8yzKH9yfqdSOaUyNgSq2o58HFi6xoCaLgQAvD_BwE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACaterhamCalledFern Posted June 12, 2023 Author Share Posted June 12, 2023 Thank you everyone for your replies they have been really helpful and one bought.I wanted a spare to put in my boot as I'm about to start a big road trip. Keep an eye out on my Instagram or Facebook page to see where.I've had the lambda sensor break before and it was not fun so a spare in the boot is a good idea for a long trip I think. Thanks again for all your help. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
