Default Free O2 Sensor (Used)

First charitable donation ive done on here

Well I just threw the new O2 sensor in and i've hit the old one with some throttle body cleaner. It's from my AU Fairmont so Im sure one of you on here will get some use out of it!

Im on the north side of brissy (geebung) and im happy for anyone who wants it to either pick it up or i'll post it (if you're interstate we can come to an arrangement)

Can you clean the O2 sensor with carbi cleaner : I heard the moisture kills the o2 sensor ?

No idea yet, the drive home should give a better indication, I had a 'fun' and 'potentially expensive' morning (im a uni student so anything over 50 bucks is expensive =P), battery died and was advised by RACQ that I needed a new one as it wasnt keeping charge, alternator is doing its job apparently which was a relief.

Does about $160 for a 500cca battery sound about right?
