car been to garage to fix crank sensor today about £150 for new sensor and labour, I could not fix it myself as I am a poor mechanic and have no tools, jack etc and as I am going on holiday on Sunday I didnt have much choice, ... can anyone explain to me  ( a real layman) what a crank sensor does please , I asked the chappie at the garage and either he didnt know or explained it very badly it must be fairly important  as the car wouldnt start whenit malfunctioned and cost £150 to put right

It's a modern day version of a distributor. It tells the engine's ECU when to fire the spark plugs ie it knows when top dead centre is & every other degree in between.  :y :y
