Paperclip it mate - look for a 19 - duff crank sensor.  If there renew with genuine Vx part.

Check for the code first to make sure, if you do have a code 19 then it's a doddle to replace, half an hour at most :y

If you get a 19 then replace it.  I paid £43 on TC for a Vx one recently - you need to check which type you need as there are potentially two/three types depending on the year of your car.
