Technical Crankshaft sensor housing???
there isnt a housing on the sensor 
Great!:bang: It looks like the asshole who has the car is pissing me about then. He says he can't finish the job unless i can get one of these and since it doesn't exist then it's going to take a while!
I'm getting to the point now that it's a choice between court and a piece of 3x3 across the back of the bastards head.
Thanks for the response Jug.

Wife's been on the phone to the git and he says now that it's less like a housing and more like a bracket (It's going to be expensive if the bloody thing has the ability to morph lol).
Does this give any clues Jug?
Bear in mind, if you figure out what he's on about a part number would be the ideal thing as there's no way for me to leave my village let alone get to a scrap yard so i'll have to buy new.

Personally i would go for the 3x3 bit of wood over the back of his head!
oh the bracket! yes that makes sense (see pic below).
i doubt you can buy the bracket seperately (it'll be on special order if dealer does still supply it), so a scrapyard part may be your best bet (take whole sensor)
the bracket is important because the positon of the sensor is critical to its signal. you must have a secure & stable bracket and the gap must be adjusted carefully (using a feeler gauge) before tightening the single bolt up on the bracket.
i'd want to know how the bracket was damaged in the first place. they dont get damaged by magic. i know how easy it is to brake stuff, but i always admit to it and pay for the parts.

if he has a new sensor to fit it comes with the bracket on the side so i dont see why its a problem if he has to destroy the old one to get it off. the only problem i can think he's having is if he cant get the bolt off.
if it is the bolt (i'm imagining a rounded off bolt head due to a seized bolt thread) then he should cut a slot in the bolt head, get some heat on it (blow torch for a few secs), hit it with a hammer, then wind it out using a flat head screwdriver. thats what i'd do

i'd recommend 4x2. much better than 3x3!!
