Genuine Bosch part price: £85
Trade price for part: £56

Labour to fit should be 20-30 mins maximum and diagnostics and check after fitting maybe £25-50

Thats what we would charge based on your info, but maybe they spent longer diagnosing it? Tbh diagnosing faulty lambdas is very simple.

Same price, but front can be done in about 10 mins as you just remove the engine cover and its right there. Rear requires the vehicle to be lifted.
