Source for Lambda oxygen sensor 2004 2 litre petrol auto

[busguy]

My engine warning light has come on, and I have found out it is the oxygen sensor that needs replacing. I cannot find one locally, so does anyone know of any good source for these anywhere? I believe genuine mazda ones are very expensive if you can find them. Any help is very much appreciated. MOT is booked in for 2nd July.

Thanks for the reply, and reference.
The stores on here identify my 2004 vehicle chassis number as having a 4 wire lambda sensor, a 'Type 3', not the type 2 fitted earlier in the earlier SGEW model production run. The stores also have the Type 3 items in stock, £275, less discount. I am just waiting for my garage to come back to me as they were trying to source one too. I will know tomorrow, and if they haven't got one, I will order one from the Bongo shop on here. Thanks again.

All done! Lambda sensor ordered from the Bongo shop on here and delivered promptly. It's been fitted by the garage and I also had the bongo MOT'd successfully at the same time. The 2 litre auto is proving costly to run as fuel consumption has been poor, and the repair costs for central locking and lambda sensor issues in the last few weeks has dented its reputation a little!

Glad you're all fixed.

Sadly these old busses can cost a bit, but there's very low depreciation, and look what a Bongo can do. Great all rounder (as we all know).

It may your fuel usage improves as the sensor you replaced controls the fueling.
