going back on subject was looking at your earlier posts and you said that the sensors had been done before you got it. If its got a recipt for it being done at a garage you might be able to take it and ask them why they gone again.

i would phone and ask how long they should last just to be cheeky. paying that much every two years is a bit much but then theyprobably lied when they said they changed all four. just the sort of thing i expect from any garage

well was a toyota garage so your probably right 
I got the price down to £71.76 on special delivery so doesn't hurt as much. I'll order it on tuesday.
Wonder if its worth starting to spray some penetrating on the duff sensor or not while I await the sensor? As its on the manifold/cat down pipe, I know it'll burn off, but will it actually do any good in the process?!

Give it a spray and have a go at undoing it once its losed will save the job when the new one comes. I wouldn't have thought it be that bad if it has only been in for two years.

cheers mate. oddly the new sensor, which it genuine denso, has toyota lazer etched into it?!
not complaning!!!
may have to use a ring spanner on it as my mate cant find his 27mm lambda socket : but hes still looking!
and there looks to be enough room to work it out! find out tomorrow after school!
