Depends how much work you want to do, and how much you want to spend. Honda ones have the plug on the end, and it's a simple case of unplugging the old one, and plugging in the new one. Expensive though.

You can get generic ones from Catsdirect.com, if memory serves. They're about £25, but you have to do some wire cutting and soldering.

You can get ones that have the Honda fitment, but are less than half the price of the ones from Honda, but I can't remember the name of the company. I have the link in my work email.

I am going to find your car and slightly deflate a rear tyre.

then you will be able ti fix it without much fuss.

The S can be sensitive to O2 sensors, I recently had Honda diagnose a failed O2 sensor but took it to Tom at TGM to replace. The one, including plug, that he replaced it with just threw up a different cel immediately, replacing it with £157 Honda one worked just fine. It could have been that the 1st replacement was faulty but Tom didn't think so.

Anyhow I'm coming to stop dispensing my information as very few people listen, buy the bit then complain later.

I got one for £19 from ebay, fitted it myself using the excellent instructions on here and the CEL went away. Snow has prevented accurate mpg assessment since.

Here is the email I have saved from Graham at "Just Lambda":

Hi

36532PCXA01 cross references in our American suppliers catalogue to our part number 250-24121 Listed at http://www.ecolambda.co.uk/main/eco.htm

And here is the relevant sensor:

£62.28

Edited to add: That's for the secondary sensor (the one that plugs into the cat). For the primary one you need a different part number, which I'm sure you can search for on here, if the search is working.

I've still not replaced mine. I've saved that email so eventually I'll get around to buying one. At the moment I'm still driving around with the CEL lit. I should put some black tape over it.
