    Brand new straight from Holden spare parts: $89.

    Aftermarket universal gay sensor: $70.

    Probably not a heap, but i'd rather pay a little extra for a genuine one. For $19 extra, it's not that much. Plus most of the aftermarket ones you have to wire in and solder, the genuine ones have plugs. Unplug old, plug in new and done.

    AC delco for me all the way, when it comes to important stuff you want the real deal, sensors, spark parts (dizzy cap/rotor/leads) etc. You can't go wrong with AC delco or Bosch. That's the only stuff I run

    Second that ^^^ My dizzy cap etc, O2 sensor, etc are all AC Delco. Straight from Holdens mouth. Plus warranty will be easier to claim if the part is faulty.

    Aftermarket stuff might be a little harder.
