From a place called Gendan - it doesn't look like the MR2 ones i've seen before but seems ok specification wise? 0.1-0.9V single wire - and anything which says flange on the box has got to be right! right?

Would be grateful if someone would confirm this is fine before I hack the pack and put on the car...

Yes - flange is good mate, but is the O2 sensor the right one ;)

should be ok ! looks quite short on the pic but am sure it wont matter where it is anyway as plenty of swirl in that area and if it fits and matches spec should be spot on ! Do u mind me asking how much and where from as I seem to be short of these on 2 engines ! :(

Well - it's not a bad deal actually (and a very helpful chap called Dean who advised me over the phone) they're ?26.95, an extra ?5.50 if you want the flange (teehee) and postage & VAT is included in those prices...

So I paid ?32.45 in total for everything... which from my experiences isn't too bad??

Non mate - what with account being up the pooper...

Not sure if it's done on ebay - the website is www.gendan.co.uk - signed delivery, arrived next day, etc etc - great stuff

GAH - I knew I shouldn't have included the flange in the picture... I just want to be certain it's good to use on the car... the flange is not important - I know it has two lips and a nice tight ribbed hole in the middle, but that is beyond the point...

after all, O2 sensors all work on a "Lambda 1" basis.

the important thing is its output voltage...it needs to be a 0-1v range (some output up to 5v),this one is a 0-1v...so :thumbsup: also some have 2,3 or 4 wires,this wouldnt be a problem if they did...ive fitted multi wire O2 sensors to cars that didnt even have one in the first place for use with LPG systems ive installed.

The four wire has a heater circuit + and - and the O2 sensor bit has two wires also one of which is the signal wire returning to ecu,so even if it was multiple wires it would wire up easily.

Its a single wire which is the signal wire and 0-1v so perfect for the job though.

Perfic!! And you didn't mention the 'F' word... no not that one!!

I did think so but after seeing what it looked like in the flesh I just thought I'd clarify...
