Front of the engine is the cam sensor (reads the cam shafts position)
Similarly the one near the alty is the crank sensor (reads crank position)
Gold Jimny the best colour (sold) :(

Big red Jimny 32" tyres, arbs, cage 5:1 transfer etc. (Sold)

ok thanks. it so annoying, i went out monday on a laning trip it played up on the way to the meeting point after about 15-20 minutes on the dual carriageway so i limped it there then applied water to the crank sensor to the amusement of 5 defender owners, restarted it fine and spent the day green laning with no further issues. its such a random problem!

Ordered the crankshaft sensor, has anyone done a definitive guide to replacing it?

Job done piece of cake really, undo both bolts on the alternator where the adjustment bar is then push it towards the engine to get the belt off then pull it all the way down away from the engine. undo the bolt holding the sensor in, wiggle it out unplug it plug in new sensor reverse steps to re assemble. took about 20 minutes if that and im no mechanic!

only time will tell if its sorted now.

That's good to hear. I like it when I solve a problem on my cars, makes me feel much better when it's fixed.

It can get really frustrating when you can't work it out.
