   £40 is good for a decent quality lambda sensor.

   the £40 one is on offer and is a generic brand so no idea if any good, unless it don't matter on brands

   Don't forget you can't just solder a generic one on to the plugs

   a 22mm spanner will do the trick.
   If its too tight, dont force it and round it off. Go for a quick blast and get the mani red hot. Will make it easier to remove.
   
   If its a total PITA, use a lambda sensor socket. Then you wont risk rounding the edges off.
