I repaired the broken wires to the lambda sensor, reset the fault codes. There were 2 intermittent fault codes and 1 other. Took the car for a run and it felt pretty much the same as before - slightly hesitant on small throttle openings. I checked the fault codes again and the intermittent ones have gone but there's still an error code for the lambda sensor reading so it must be duff.
As a test, I disconnected it and took the car for a drive again. No hesitation this time and throttle response at small throttle openings is much better. Soooo, looks like a new sensor is needed on payday. Still, at least it is driveable, albeit in safe mode which prevents the car revving beyond 5000rpm (according to what I have read). To be honest, we never rev it beyond 5k anyway so not a problem!
