Default Where to get Lambda sensor from?

Forgive me for asking, but with the search not working it makes finding stuff you know is on here tricky at best.

Someone posted up a link of a place that sells lambda sensors for Scoobs for about thirty odd quid. Anybody know where?

Cheers.

If you can be bothered with the little extra hassle, go for the 4-wire M18 threaded version. This gives you a seperate earth rather then relying on the Lambda earthing through the downpipe.

You can then earth it straight to the battery or to the earth stud just under the intercooler (on the bulkhead)

It has been known to give bettter/smoother cold running.

Its on the downpipe, easy to do.

OE one is the way to go IMHO.

Its not as cheap but it is a false economy. They have been proven to last about a 3rd of the time as an OE one from what ive seen on here. It does control a fairly vital part of the engine mangement, and if is a bit innacurate, you'll probably lose what you saved in fuel economy.

Just my opinion, but I dont like skimping on some things.
