To be honest once you work out where all the bolts are that hold the bracket on (one hidden under the aircon compressor) it's not so bad and I think I'd do it this way again.

Crank sensor job is done phew with much swearing. I ordered one from europarts waited it for most of last week but they sent the wrong one.I put my reg in and everything. Got one off ebay in the end I found it impossible to get the bolt in so ended up stripping out power steering pump, aircon compressor and bracket etc. My aircon has no gas in so no problem with that.

I saw a tip to help getting them out (any car) , take off wheel then put wheel nuts back on and tighten and it takes pressure of screws. +You get new screws with some new discs.

I managed to get the old one out without removing diptube and it looks dodgy all the electronics were halfway out like the seal on the end had broken it looks like a hall effect sensor type I was expecting a coil. Waiting for new one to arrive now hope I got the right one .it looks like fun getting the bolt back in wish i had tiny leprechaun hands.

Thank you Addy I will bear that in mind when i resume later . The guide was for a 2.2 so maybe 2.0l different and harder/impossible to get out? It seemed pretty solid.

One thing after another lately I suspect crank sensor failed , no resistance at connector and p0335 code. I found the guide on here and got engine mount bracket off it says remove dipstick tube. Is the bracket near the top all that holds it in ? i can't get it out . Why the %%** did they put the sensor there c$$$££

My new cam cover came today from Poland it seems very good quality and all as it should be. I won't be fitting it yet as my old one is still oil tight.

Be careful when turning key as the force needed can make key come apart and risk of losing immobiliser chip.
