Well if it stops draining when you take the central locking fuse out then that system would be a good place to start, that 60 amp fuse in the engine bay runs almost everything... u might have a solenoid that isnt switching off or something.

car tracking systems like netstar and the like, (ones that fit a gps module to locate the car) often cause battery drain issues, the system I had killed 5 batteries before I removed the system... best thing to do is to do a draw test on the battery, the car should not pull more that 12 - 15...

the lambda sensors are only there to measure the oxygen content, so if the readings look whack, its not always the sensors at fault, can be leaks on the exhaust or a number of other engine related problems, normal readings should go from around 0.3/0.4 volts to 1 volt max (normally 0.7/0,8) and...

Vice grip, penetrating spray and a hammer... if that dosnt work then resort to grinding them off and drilling, re tapping

Can smack them off with a hammer and a screwdriver gently, putting them back on needs more care though, id advise heating the ring up and doing a shrink fit. Before you do all that, have u tried cleaning the rings and sensors up? its a magnetic sensor so it will pick up filings and dust over...
