Check around but don't discount main dealers entirely. Both myself and my son have occasionally been pleasantly surprised at the cost of parts from main dealers . I know that many generic parts can be bought at much lower prices from aftermarket sources but you generally get what you pay for and things like sensors ,unlike aftermarket ball joints etc that will be fine but may just not last as long as main dealer parts are critical to the correct running of your car . Do a price check from a local car factor and your main dealer. If it's cheaper from car factor and a recognised make / quality from a major supplier be.Bosch ,Lucas etc then fine , otherwise go to main dealer.

Hi, thanx for the reply, I'd shopped around and got one for £125 from the dealer. it would had been a gamble buying second hand. Couldn't see any on ebay for the Mark 2 S80. OH well.
