Default oxygen sensors

wanting to replace them as a part of the 120k service...auto zone quoted me $150 a piece, is there ANY other way to get these things cheaper? will the sensors of a DII fit a D1? thinkin maybe i can get some minor used ones at a scrap yard...

You might want to ask Will (Tillery?) over in Danville, VA if he has any used ones around. I am looking for his contact info now.. but if anyone can chime in with it... Also.. Someone on Dweb has used ones for (I think) $50 in the classifieds section.

First, D2 O2 sensors are cheaper, but they won't work on your D1. There are cheaper universal O2 sensors out their, but I don't recommend them cause you usually have to cut and modify the wires.
Try these sites,
http://www.roverconnection.com/
http://www.dap-inc.com/acc_frm.htm
Also check out Atlantic British.
Between these you should find a little better deal, but they are still going to be pricey.
Good luck,
Mike

My advice: Do not go used on 02 sensors, just replace them with new ones. I really doubt that Will sells used sensors as he would have no way to test them before sending them to you. Either way good luck.

Check out www.partstrain.com in the catalytic converter section. I have a 94 D1 and their price was $ 33.95 each. Good luck.

I'd avoid the generics- I tried them on my 95 and they caused a lot of problems.

X2.. I used to have lots of good info on splicing wires, ect to make generic 02 sensors work until I actually tried to do it..BOY what a waste of money that was! Red with black to green with yellow..They never ended up working right and only set the CEL to boot!

Get them from Nathan Crabtree and be done with it! Trust me on this one....Also when you go change them out, I found it easier to jack the truck up and also wait to till the truck was cool! It can get VERY hot down there near the cats, and the 2 you need to change I assume are upstream. Just be careful and good luck! ~RC
