Go onto Ebay.co.uk
Tick worldwide search in left hand box
Do search for Landrover Defender Oxygen Sensors
You should get a company called something like Global Automation selling new NTK, 3-wire, Landrover DEFENDER sensors for $28.50 each
I ordered 2 which cost $70 inc P&P (£35.06)

When they turn up they do have Nissan written on them, but apparently are NTK & fit/ work perfectly in my Chimaera
They are the type which you need to cut the wires to fit & come supplied with through crimps
You will need a decent crimp tool (about £30 to buy from Maplins, etc. Or hire for peanuts) to join wires
Take about a week to arrive

Good luck...

Hi Bryan,
just out of interest what were the symptoms that caused you to replace your sensors? What improvement did you see with the new ones? I think mine are passed their best.

Aside from rolling road results, 99% of sensor replacements are due to MOT failures- so no symptoms as such- just high emmissionssmile

Car was running rough so took into Garage recently
They told me heat sheids needed replacing & sensors were past their best & would probably fail MOT....

Car did feel slightly smoother after changing them, not a big difference though
TVR dealer couldn't believe price I got them for, he reckoned they pay alot more for them at cost :-)
