Full marks (no pun intended) to Marks_DTM who correctly indentified the problem via text msg this morning - cable trapped in cam cover, and subsequently donald ducked...

Next question - where is the actual sensor itself (can't trace wiring as it had worn right through).  Haynes isn't that clear and suggests just in front of oil filter (can't see it is is) and remove engine mount! Surely it won't require that amount of effort?

Can it be reached from above - is it above or below the manifold?

Had to change both of mine last year. The one you want is below the manifold, around the engine mount area. You don't need to dismantle engine mount, but a flexable? extension bar is useful(or use a small socket set). Took 5mins to get it off and 20mins to run the new cable following old route.
Yes it does affect performance (a lot in my case). Hope this helps. :)

Despite plenty of looking, I can't even see the damn thing. Even took off oil filter for better access :(

I have managed to repair the sensor wiring - and the thing now goes much, much better  :D

Thanks for everyones help, esp Marks_DTM for his invaluable help

Rember if any admin says a job is easy, to us normal folk its fairly hard.

A 'fiddly' job would take us about a day or 2

And if they say a job is hard, forget it!!! Try getting blood from a stone, that would be easier  ;) ;D
