I replaced both my lambda's with some genuine NGK parts (hoping these will actually last more than a few months).
One of the plug/sockets is tight and works great.
The near side one however, comes apart very easily. I tried flexing the push/release part of the housing to achieve a tighter lock, but to no avail.
Anyone else experienced this?
Cutting off the connector and replacing it is an option, but a pain in the arse, as it's down the back of the engine.
Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated.

It's not something I've experienced on mine, despite the messing about I did last year with the Llambda's.
They are quite easy to de-pin though - maybe possible to inspect it more closely then. Is it the Llambda side or loom side that's the issue?

I saved over my old Llambda's as they make a good flying lead for checking continuity back to the ECU.

If it's the loom side connector body, are petrol Land Rover's prevalant over your way?
