Would someone please tell me where to find the M400 lambda sensor cable? Car running rough and idling at 1.5k so thats my first guess. Hopefully loose not knackered....

Front one is near the diagnostic plug, rear one is under intercooler box.
Have you tried running the diagnostic software? that will tell you if you have a lambda issue straight away.

Thanks mate. I don't have the software or any experience of using it. I assume it's involved?

Doesn't sound like lambda to me, more like a vacuume leak

Hmmm. I did have all the ic hoses off yesterday but was careful to replace and tighten them properly. I thought.

Depending where you are in Chelmsford, I am 15 mins away on the A1060, I can take a look

Just saw this - would have been great.

In the end I went to Yellowshed himself who lives literally 2 mins drive from my front door. Turned out to be a tiny vacuum leak somewhere on the throttle body together with a slightly sticking throttle mechanism. He sorted it in around 5 mins 35 seconds and now the car feels better than ever. I definitely live in the perfect place to own a Noble. Thanks Trevor.
