Could these faults on sensors on these very low mileage cars be attributed to the way it's driven ie. taken out for a few miles once or twice a week ?
A "regular" car used daily rarely suffer's these maladies well over 150,000 km's

I guess it could be, but mine is a daily drive!

I do about 6k-7k per year. Mainly for when I go into office which is 25 mile round trip about 3 or 4 times a week. A few weeks it doesn't move at all, the longest being a 7 week park up and then some long trips around the country multiple times.

You'd think that would be OK to keep things running ok...?

Slight update. Eh... it's not fixed. No parts in stock!!

My misunderstanding. Completely fine to drive they have said. Rebooked.

Just a friendly heads up to be cautious ...I was told the same after an 02 sensor fault by the roadside technician, who also suggested to give it a good blast after the fault was cleared. However, upon taking it to the dealership they said x2 (of 4) sensors had gone and it should have been recovered - not driven.

Great stuff. glad you got it sorted quickly. On mine he did a reset & asked had car been not used for a while. Answer yes. I do thrash it a bit now & after the reset been 100% great fingers & toes.

I need to know what some of the common problems we've expereinced here in South Africa - there;s fewer of the F types around. Mostly Porsches here and I mean alot !

I guess BP ultimate should be good stuff, just wondered if there was a common link between those who’ve experienced O2 sensor failures - either fuel or car usage. What are these cars going to be like after 10-15 years?

The frequency and type of use must play a part in this. Parked cars generally suffer all sorts of maladies. Cars are not meant to be parked. The average mileage for a normal car is 12500 miles per annum (22000kms).
Here, we get 95 Octane fuel - just FYI.
Is it only the F Types with failing O2 sensors ?

Phil the moderator has the XE-S 380 V6 and he has had a new O2 sensor as well.
