Default P0031 Fault Code - Denso required

MY05 STi Type Uk 2.0ltr Widetrack DCCD

Had the exhaust sensor/lambda/denso go on me a got a P0031 fault code. Believe its the pre turbo/CAT sensor thats just after the headers near to the up-pipe - the one that's a sod to get to - take offside front wheel off and attack with closed 22mm spanner - to be followed by visit to A&E to repair the skin removed from knuckles.
Does anyone know where I can get one of these from? Aware that you can get them off ebay etc, but rather buy from a known supplier as too many fake/copies around.

Thanks for any replies with contact details - sorry if I dont reply back soon as at work and will be away for a while.

Thanks.

Where are you in the country - I bought a genuine Denso on from Allparts Automotive.
Draper make a socket specifically to remove the lambda sensor - ok it's £18 but it makes it much easier to remove.

A ring spanner is stronger then the sensor tool, If you get the sensor tool you will need to add a jubilee clip to stop the tool opening up.
