We bought a pair of Lambda sensors last week for Philip's V8, MHK100920.
Came in Britpart boxes but had slight differences in the nose pressing and grey plugs.
After running them we got an error message "sensor not heating up" and after checking resistances we find that one has 9ohms and one has 18ohms.
Contacted Britpart direct as the dealer wouldn't have had any input into what was in the box, and they have come back today to say that the correct part should have a 9 ohm heater resistance and have six slots on the nose pressing.
The originals had 3 slots and orange connector.
So check that what you are buying is what it says on the label. Also note that many advertisers with these units don't carry them on the shelf, they wait for your order then when you've paid they get them in from Britpart on an overnight delivery.
