Difficult to tell from the pics, but there should be an arm on the back of the sensor, which is connected by a rod to a bracket bolted to the upper face of the wishbone :-\
At a guess I would suggest that the wishbones have been replaced with cheapy ones without the threaded hole for the bracket, and whoever fitted them simply broke the rod and arm off rather than improvise ::)
If you can, a pic from the front, or straight along the top of the rear edge of the wishbone should confirm (or not) my suspicions :y

oooh a picture of how its meant to look would be ideal.

Looking at what isn't present between the two pics, I would suggest my hunch was correct ::)

Agreed. :y
Why would anyone think that it's OK to remove an item rather than refit it ???

Im not joking either. your right and the last service i confirmed was twells of Billinghay here in lincolnshire. a full vauxhall dealership serviced 4000 miles before i bought it. i hope this failed after the service !

From that pic you need
4, 6, 7 and 13 :y but try the breakers here first, as the sensors are pricey new...
As that IPC shows, front and rear sensors are the same, as are the rods, but you'll need the bracket as that is clearly missing from the wishbone :y

..... and different. I remember Lizzie Z posting a picture of the sensor along with the modified section of loom due to different plug/socket

Ask the mad Irishman to send a short section of loom as well, as the plug changed at some point, so if the plug is different to yours, you can still sort it :)

Noted. :y
