Did you check for codes with the engine running? Were they the same if you did?

Hi,yes,still got the 15 and 73,pressumed they were still logged because it hadn't had the 20 or so clean starts

I bought one recently £26+vat   is it normal to have to remove p/steering pump to get access to fit, or is there an easier method.

Assuming you're talking about your 2.2, you can access it from the
top by removing the exhaust heatshield and the oil dipstick tube.
You'll find it about 2" forward of the dipstick tube. It's still a bit
tight, so you will need a universal joint or flexible drive for your
1/4" drive socket.

Don't forget to plug the dipstick tube hole with something before
you start removing the sensor, or Murphy's Law states that the
bolt will drop down the hole and into the crankcase.
