For the benefit of all other people who would be looking to replace one in the future, I got mine from
www.rockauto.com.
Actually, I had to change the one on my WG so got a spare for the TJ. I think the cost was USD 26 each, plus freight of about USD 25. All up for three sensors I paid USD 105 (about NZD 140).
If you think fitment on a TJ is bad, wait till you have to replace it on a WG/Grand Cherokee V8.....
