Default Woops, melted lambda plug, schoolboy error, doh!

Basically I've recently found out that I have a dodgy lambda sensor on my00 turbo. Long story short, I've had it disconnected until I get a replacement. However as it's been unplugged the plastic plug has been resting on the metal of the lambda sensor and melted a bit! Where can I get a new plug from and any idea of cost? As the male plug won't fit into the female plug anymore!!!

If you're after a new one, this is the one is the correct fitment - good quality and well priced.

You know what? Thinking about it, the part that's melted is attached to the lambda, and I've gotta a new lambda so I should be ok after all! It is the male end of the lambda attached to the sensor isn't it? So these aztec o2 sensors are ok then? didn't really want to shell out £140 on payday for a genuine one but also didn't want to buy something inferior aswell

Ah, you will need a new plug in that case or a sensor that comes with a plug. Ours re-use the old plug.

To save some cash you could ask someone who is breaking their car for a plug and then fit a new sensor.
