It is a rip off,no arguing with that,but as Taxi Al says,its the only way to go. ;)

Only changed that sensor once in 166k miles on my 2.2, so worth paying for genuine  :y

If you can get access to a trade card and your local dealer is still part of the scheme( unlikely) it comes down to about £56

Totally agree with all the comments that genuine is better,but when its sitting in the palm of your hand and you're thinking I've just paid £75 for that. :(
