Its a capacitor to suppress the coil interference

Right, its now sat on the drive idling.

I have a suspicion that the crank sensor is past its best (its 8 years old, original and done 110K miles) as the Tech 2 rpm readings are little strange!

Another job well done  :y  At least the crank sensor is an easy job though.  When are you taking it for a spin to see the power increase?

I'm not convinced the ecu is that accurate anyway...  ...how does it compare to the 2.5?

rather miles out!

Thing is, if the sensor is receiving double pulses.....then it would not mark the sensor as faulty!
