That said there usually is a coating of oil on mine when removed

[ScaniaV8]

 Thanks to all who offered excellent advice.
 I managed to replace the sensor successfully after gentle persuasion with a small set of mole grips !! All done without having to drain oil and remove oil filter casing for improved access.
I suppose if you have a car pit then this job is a real doddle but working underneath with only axle stands then the job is certainly more difficult.
Anyway, the car is running again fine with the new cranshaft sensor attached....I had almost forgotten what smooth acceleration felt like   :-)

Incidentally, will the previous code 19 just clear itself after a number of successful starts and running or will the fault codes need clearing with a "My Naff Code Reader" reader device ??

cheers

I've changed them without even jacking the car up But if it was your first one then it can be a little more awkward. Great news you've got it sorted though

As for the code... Keep an eye on it. It should clear after 20(?) clean cycles but I had a car that wouldn't clear it and frequently brought it back up even through 2 Genuine sensors. In fact, one of them is my spare now
