cheers mate, one im going to look at saturday, said the crank sensors gone, he checked the ohms of the sensor and got no reading, was just wondering how much hassle it would be changing it if i decided to buy it.

sorry bud i read cam sensor for some reason.
Crank sensor is on top of gearbox where it meets the block right underneath the thermostat housing. Its bolted into the box with a 10mm bolt and has a 10cm fly lead coming off of it into a brown 3 pin plug.

Spot on mate. Its a bit of a PITA to get out. Need a 10mm spanner and small hands unless you want to take the top rad hose and thermostat housing off but obviously it will all need rebleeding then.

Sounds a bit iffy to me, DIY and OHM's law is never a good thing and for the sake of £20.00 wouldn't you replace it

What's the difference between me doing it and a mechanic doing it? Any decent mechanic will test a sensor before just ripping their customer off and replacing stuff that might not need replacing.
