depending on your software you may not even need one pal, is it a std car?
if its been tuned, speak to whoever wrote the software to check if its closed loop enabled or not.

I have one in good condition which you can have. I removed it from my 4x4 K plate saph when I changed to a 2wd exhaust manifold, I now have a Bosch sensor in the downpipe.
The original Ford lambda sensor was working fine when I removed it, the only thing is it doesn't have the original Ford plug so you would need to fit the one off your old sensor. Let me know if your interested and I can post it to you.

speak to whoever wrote the software to check if its closed loop enabled or not pal, otherwise your wasting your money fitting a sensor

if its not closed loop enabled you have no need for the lambda sensor.

very few tuners do closed loop chips ie MSD,

your ppoor running could be a poorly set up car, bad map, etc

You can have it mate, just pm your address and I'll post it to you. It's no good to me and has been sat in the garage for the last 2 years so if you can make use of it it's yours.
