Clips that hold wiring for the upstream O2 sensors
We replaced all four O2 sensors recently, and the clips in the engine bay that hold the wires to the side and away from heat sources were gone. We rigged something temporarily.
I've called Rovers North and the local dealership looking for these clips, and they can't find the part in their systems.
Does anyone have a part number for this, or a link to an ad for it?

Do you mean the metal brackets on the back of the engine onto which the upstream connectors mount? I suggest you forget about them.
For one thing, if you need to replace the O2s again it will be a lot easier to not have to slide the connectors off the brackets. On my truck, I zip tied the wires and connectors out of the way on the driver side, connecting to a little plastic loop I fashioned that's mounted on one of the studs around the brake booster. I'll try to add a pic soon.
The passenger-side upstream O2 wiring simply hangs free, as it has now for many, many years. Where it's positioned there is no risk of it ending up on the exhaust manifold (which is what caused me to zip tie the driver side).
I've never changed the downstream O2s so I have nothing to offer about them, other than that the same principles may apply.

Yes, that's it exactly. We've done the same thing you have. But I would like the option of making it original. Do you by any chance have the part number?
It isn't an issue for the downstream sensors. They're pretty much off by themselves.
A couple of things we found when installing them this time that differ from the Atlantic British video:
1. For the upstream driver's side sensor, it was easier to remove and install both ends from below.
2. For the upstream passenger side, it's easier to do both through the engine bay.
3. For the downstream passenger side, removing the driveshaft made it a lot easier to access the connector, especially with a hot exhaust.
4. Downstream driver's side was straightforward.

They are just small metal plates with a hole in them and a squared off end to slip the connector on. I think you might have to lower the engine to get them in to take the bolts out. I would call Will Tillery (rover guy) I bet he a has a box full of them.
