Id Imagine the First one is your lambda sensor and the last is a air temp sensor if its in the intake of the TB.

Id guess the lambda is a Narrowband sensor, I think these are a standard thread and fit, They are around e30 on ebay.
Air temp sensor Id, just solder the wires together, although it could be a pain as its so close to the plug. The sensors are about e15.

I have no Idea what the middle one is for. Do you have a haynes manual? maybe a manifold heater?

That Lamda sensor is totally different to the UK Mini one which is located on the manifold.

The last sensor is located after the cat. It measures the exhaust gas temperature and determines whether the cat is working properly. It is only fitted on jap spec minis and all it does is turn on a warning light on the dash as far as I know. Its here on somerford mini site no. 62. http://www.somerfordmini.co.uk/eshop/in ... page&id=76
