Why are they so expensive? How easy are they to change? Where can you get reasonably priced ones? Like second hand ones and how do you know if its any good? Thanks REP Given

The one in the top of the exhasut manifold, if yous has one? I found mine to complety wedged in, never could move it. I wanted to take it out so I could get my head shild off to spry, then I relisied that the green sensor can be just uncliped lol.
So it maybe very hard to get out, dont know about anything else sorry, but juat a warning it maybe stuck.

I just got a second hand one from ebay the seller offers a 30 day guarantee if it doesnt work! I can get the seller name if you want? The one i changed was the one after the cat. Its an easy job doesnt warrant the £200 the garage wanted. All you do is
1. Seperate the clip just pull the red bit out and then pull apart
2. Unscrew the sensor, it may be stuck use a blow torch and get your spanner on it straight after with a cloth wrapped around it, then just keep hitting it with your hand, should shock it off (could take the car for a run to warm the exhaust through)
3. Do everything in reverse with the new one
Your light will go off in a couple of days, Ben:y:
