As far as i'm aware there are two types of connector (someone may be along in the minute and say different), check at the back of the engine under the scuttle and look at the connector - it will either be a oval or square.  oval one seems to be cheaper.  do you have tc card - if not i can assist. :y

right just had the crank sensor changed it was the right part thankfully and it was only £30 quid. just one more question is the fault 0335 stored on the system because i just done the paperclip test again and its still showing the fault.

It will stay stored for 'X' number of clean starts.
I say 'X' because some folk say 20 starts and others differ.

Mine took 2 months  :(  before it cleared from memory, even though
the fault was cleared and no EML light on.

If you don't get the problem and the EML stays off, don't worry about it.
