The camshaft sensors on the V6 seem prone to go at any mileage and the consensus is to carry a spare.    

This is only a suggestion. Would it be possible to "pre install" one carefully routed away from heat and then just swap over the ends when the connected one gives up!!? Maybe the sensor end would need to be enclosed in a poly bag or similar. Is there enough room?

there's no point doing that as you'll still get some heat and oil fatigue on the wire for the crank sensor, just carry one in the boot lol!
it's not that bad to change if your willing to either a take the scuttle off at the side of the road or have the plenium off haha!

I have asked this before, but isn't easier to access the crank sensor from underneath the car, as you do (well I do!)  when changing the oil filter?. :-? :-?

i had this very thought upon seeing a post where someone had cut out some ht leads rather than feed then through and remove then altogether. I thought, why bother even cutting them, if your going to do that? Just leave then hanging there caps and all. And so on until i thought your very same thought. Dont see why not. Or just keep a spare and hand it to the aa man when if turns up. :-)
