If you're going thru heaps of petrol then it could be the coolant temp sensor which has failed - this will cause the ECU to think the engine is still cool and use a richer fuel mixture which then causes the oxygen sensors to fail. Just a guess.

If you haven't already done so, you've gotta find out what code it's throwing. From your description, it could be many things, including something simple like a vacuum line disconnected when changing sensors.

Code reading is fairly simple, and perhaps a local parts house will read for you...they'll certainly sell you a reader!

Once you have the code, repost, and we'll see what we can do!
