Where is the offside one?  The cable disappears over the top of the alternator... 

When I reassembled after changing the headgaskets I didn't route the cable properly and it was rubbing on the auxbelt, so yesterday I tried tucking it up behind the tensioner and it's caught and snapped!     

I'm guessing it's a complete basteward to change?

Is that underneath the exhaust manifold Rob?   

Have you got one by any chance?

1 hour tops on v6 to change
Remove bagpipes.
Remove alternator belt.
Remove alternator.

Knock sensor is bolted to the block behind were the alternator was 

Refit it the reverse 
One thing to remember ................ carefully clip the sensor wire up and be careful when refitting the alternator because its very easy to trap the sensor wire and knacker it 

Not like i'm talking from experience or anything

Tried it both ways after I trapped the friggin wire replacing mine

Unless you have very skinny hands, its much less hassle if you stick a 15mm spanner on the tensioner, remove the belt then remove the alternator
