Mission accomplished, change the sensor this morning and it's all good.

Wasn't as straight forward as I hoped though, I couldn't get to it from the top or from the side so I had to remove the undertray and then the heat sheild to get at it. Still only took an hour so not too bad.

After putting it all back together I started the engine and the CEL light was gone

Big thanks to Steve and Jon for your help and advice in sorting this out.

Here is the offending sensor, clearly seen better days.

Glad you sorted it, I removed mine with the headers off the car when I fitted the ported headers, but I did refit it on the car. I don't have an undertray and with the induction kit I have more room above to get in too

I removed the airbox and I still couldn't get to it due to the upper part of the heat shield. At least it's sorted.

Next job is to fit my new oil pressure gauge and sensor

What fitting kit have you got, a leaky sandwich plate or the LMA 'cylinder 3' bung kit

Good luck, you'll need to remove the alternator
