Yes. The engine will turn over but not fire, easily confirmed with a pedal trick or paperclip test. Sometimes they don't show a 19 code, but normally will.

Replace with genuine only  :y

as Tunnie said code 19 may not show everytime..  generally it starts to cause problems when engine is hot.. be careful for the cable routing for the new one.

£50-60 iirc. As said, genuine only  :y

Cem has just reminded me to tidy up the cabling for my new one  :-X

When my sensor was failing the car still started ok, though I guess there could be different symptoms. Strange that it was starting and running, albeit roughly, before hand.
Definitely codes first, before spending money. Still think there's a plug missing or something you have inadvertently moved when doing the leads.
