a98pmalcolm Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Hay all...im thinking of getting a new lamber sensor as previous discussions proved that my MPG is terriable and this could assist me in saving a few dibblets in the long run. Now problem is non of the motor factors in my area have one for my 1993 MKIV Twin Turbo 3L Imported Supra. So only option in my area is toyota and they want around £230 OUCH! But i have noticed this on e-bay these.. but i dont know if its any good or the correct fitting? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Lambda-Sensor-Toyota-Corolla-Hilux-Land-Cruiser-Prius_W0QQitemZ140319267720QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item20abae1b88&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 but i know there is a few good traders on here like Chris Wilson and Kerron etc.....But does any one know if anyone sells lambda sensors? Thank as always Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I thought Mr T was charging around £100 for these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I've had a few customers who've bought generic ebay ones that have had poor results and later swapped over to OEM ones. £230 is a ridiculous price, I'd have thought you should be able to get them there for around £150.

DSK Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Fwiw, with engine related sensors, 02 sensors, camshaft, crankshaft sensors, MAF sensors etc its always crucial to use OEM units as these will only be the ones that are correctly calibrated to the required specs. Usually if you buy any other brand of sensor then it will not be calibrated to the same spec so you will end up paying twice over anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't apply to O2 sensors as they are all the same bar the heaters, so using universal type will make no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Sounds like Toyota quoted you for 2 of these, which is what the UK spec supras (and NAs) take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew the most i had seen quoted was 120. I think the lowest i have heard is high 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
