   You can get a sleeve for it i think, that kind of blanks off the sensor, then it's just a case of fastening it somewhere out of the way.. Have a search for lambda blanking or something, should find a guide or something

    It is that long, you can relocate it, you need to follow it back under the exhaust heatshield up and up the back of the gearbox. I put mine in a lambda sleeve from Kam behind the passenger headlight to get fresh air.
    
    Most of the time it behaved but you could still get the EML on every month or so. Quick reset with OBD and you're laughing.

    Why does it need to be somewhere that has airflow? If the sensor is inside a sealed metal sleeve it's hardly going to care.
    
    Mine has been cable tied to the metal bracket under the car (where the loom plug is) for years - it's absolutely fine.
