Yea, thats the one... They are £30 from Autovaux apparently. I'm going to try and get a second had one though - the wire on mine got broken off right in the plastic cap, tried repairing it, its impossible

Yes thats the crankshaft sensor.
Vaux seem to charge £100 or so for the sensors.

Anyone know if an Ecotec one will work on a 20XE?

Are are they about £30 then? Don't want to be spending much more on the engine, i'm sooo close to getting it in now (Anyone breaking a 20XE equipped car?)
