AFAIK my car still has the one it was born with... 315,000km later. Maybe I should invest in one to reduce my expenditure on catalytic converters :

after how many k's should you change the 02 sensor? could it be possible an old o2 sensor could be reason for a rough idle?

Cheapest one I could get today was $145 from Repco, a lot better than $410. Worth the investment to look after the new cat. Will keep the eBay bloke's details as the wife's car has just ticked over 90,000km and will likely need a new one soon.
