I had to buy a new Oxy sensor because the idoits in japan cut it off when they did the half cut!
Juat go to any good auto electrical store, ask for a universal 4 wire oxygen sensor. cost around aus $100. they work just fine, been using mine for ages and no probs!

Can anyone tell me where the plug is? I've found the sensor but the wires dissappear into the car and then I lose them. Is there an easy way to get at the electrical connector inside the car to disconnect it or do I have to pull apart the carpet and the dash to find it??

You should still be able to get the connector out underneath the car, the wire goes into a rubber boot, if you pull that out of the way you will see a white plastic clip that holds the boot to the car, take that off and you should be able to get to the connector.

My god it was a b*stard soldering while you're upside down and trying the hold the wires in that crimping thing.
I think the fuel economy has slightly improved but still overall crap compared to what it used to be.
Is the sensor after the CAT the same? We got a part number for that one?

That sensor after the CAT, I'm not sure what it is can someone tell me, I thought it was a secondary O2 sensor but I read some where else that it was a CAT temp sensor and you could remove and put a resistor in its place so the light on the dash won't light up.

I'll write you a quick DIY
Step 1: Buy new FTO
Step 2: If happens again see step 1
Wait did you want the DIY for what to do when you accidentally leave the handbrake down when parked near a cliff on the beach?

Why didn't you unplug the connector and go and do it on the bench
