Not sure where to get it but get a bosch direct reaplcement they seem to be good and ive read problems of people using NGK.

As for how hard to replace? Ask stan lol.

LOL...

if its playing ball...its a doddle to change,

if its being an arse, alla laines, I had to remove downpipe, cut the old sensor off, drill out the remainder, and weld a new threaded boss on!

Just about to get one of these.

Have a choice of the NGK one (direct fit) for £40

Or a Bosch Universal 3 wire one for £25

Both new, surely it should be the bosch? Only prob is it's not direct fit!

Oh and whats the best way to remove this mofo? Spanner and hammer?

my NGK one started to fail in about 14 months

get the Bosch DIRECT fit one
