C36 lambda sensor replacement..

[cazyp]

Hi, as part of my next plugs/leads/oil service I'll replace the lambda sensor.
I haven't looked yet for it's location but can it be reached for replacement under the bonnet or is it a jack/ramp job?
Many thanks

Thanks so accessed from under the bonnet?

It's listed as a 100'000 mile service item and cars done just over that so I'll change it as routine. I reckon it's made about 700'000'000 calculations in it's life so far lol. Time for retirement!
