Hi Guys
I finally got round to ordering the new sensor, and I wanted to check I was changing the right one when I get it, so I took a couple of pics hoping some will confirm if I've got it right
First one is of what believe is the crank sensor behind the alternator
Second one is a wider shot with that cavity being in the lower left
If anyone can confirm I've got it right, or set me straight, I'd appreciate it
Cheers
Paul

Ok so I got it out but putting the new one in I snapped the bolt. Is it now a case of drilling it out and then re-tapping it for a new, slightly larger, bolt ?
I.e take it to someone who knows what they're doing before I do any more damage
Or is there an easier way ?

You could try a left handed drill bit....or standard easy outs.....I thought the site had only one resident Gorilla? 
Take care though as if you're not au fait with this line of work you could make things worse.
