As above, is it an easy job to change?

I have access to ramps if it needs to be accessed from underneath.

Thanks.

Yes, it's accessed from underneath and it's 1 plug and 1 bolt. I do seem to remember a slight issue when I changed mine, possibly lack of space I'm not sure but 10 minutes and it was job done so it definitely wasn't a major issue.

Thanks again Mike.

You're like my personal helper with this issue!

Don't suppose you managed to find the pic of where it is did you?

Just found it now, it was older than i thought so I didn't go back far enough last night. It's not a great pic but it shows where it is compared with the inner CV joint and starter motor



I'm so helpful on the subject because i changed mine twice and it was never the problem so it sticks with me It was different problems that I was having though, not cutting out.

Ha, thanks,

Guessing the pic is on its side? So the starter motor is above it?

Quick update on this - sensor replaced and all is well.

The sensor is held in by a female torx. I think it is size 10. Unfortunately I didn't have one of these so managed with a size 10 spanner as it wasn't in tight.

Total job took about 15 minutes.
