u srs?
Just re-read the OP, and realised what I missed.....
Please pm me Shhtuart, as I will order one.
BTW, any updates on the Bosch o2 sensor?
The sensor sits just to the left of the negative terminal on your battery under the coolant lines.. You can't miss it. Piss easy job to swap out but a little bit of coolant will come with it.
I am still looking for a good price. The $55 ones on ebay are very competitively priced so he's not making much off them at all. Still looking into it.
I don't know yet so don't anyone go rushing to buy one, it didn't solve my intermittent over-fuelling issue but I think that's due to other stuff going on like having massive injectors and an emanage and I think a knackered fuel pressure regulator (being replaced soon).
I don't see why it wouldn't do the job, it's just like a universal but with the correct plug on but will know more when I get to the bottom of my issues.

I know that this is an old thread but I thought I would throw my 2 cents in.
I replaced my o2 sensor with a generic 4 pin one (a Bosch unit) 5,000kms ago and it is useless. The ECU is running in open-loop mode under all conditions (determined with Haltech Interceptor on a dyno), you would get the same result by simply disconnecting the o2 sensor completely. I am getting about 10L/100km fuel consumption.

I am getting 10L/100km with a non-functioning o2 sensor in traffic. With a 60L tank, 600km would be very achievable. This doesn't prove that your setup functions.
What I am trying to say is that the car functions really quite well in open loop mode, apparently better than with a dirty oem o2 sensor.

Denso's quality of build is a bit ordinary source:http://www.autodata.ru/efisakh/2008/pr6_o2sens_bek.htm (may need Google translate or similar if you don't read Russian)
NTK or Bosch seem to be the way to go.
Universal 4 wire Zirconia o2 sensors seem to come in the following flavours:
Four wire "Thimble" sensor with 12 watt heater, isolated ground
Four wire "Thimble" sensor with 12 watt heater, grounded case
Four wire "Thimble" sensor with 18 watt heater and grounded case
Four wire "Thimble" sensor with 18 watt heater and ground isolated case
Four wire “Planar” construction sensor, 7 watt heater, isolated ground
The Four wire “Planar” construction sensor, 7 watt heater, isolated ground sensors are the ones to go for, for the FTO.
Bosch part number is 0 258 986 602 or LS602.
So as you can see all universal ones are not the same. Our cars require a specific type.
If you could check the numbers on your one Rob, that would be a great help.

Will get under the car and have a look at the new one in a bit.
Just had a look at the old one and it says:
Denso
068500
9821
I think but it's faded and hard to read.
I thought the higher watt heaters just mean they warm up quicker which is good but essentially they output the same?
