Dark Skies, I realise that this thread isn't as much fun as the hp debates, but you have my sincere gratitude for continuing to provide advice. You too Vinman, the last couple of weeks it was tough to work on the car. Single digits outside temps and I had internal temps over 100, but now I get to go back at it.
You're more than welcome. Plenty of folk here have helped me out in the past and all I'm doing is, hopefully, putting something back by way of return.

Having re-read your post and my response I realized that my advice was slightly out in that I was referring to the M6 cap heads holding the sensors in their place. I nipped out to check on my own car, as I suspected that the bracket retaining screws were probably M8s. Sure enough they are so you'll be needing an M6 allen key fitting with a 1/4 drive socket to deal with these.

1/4 sockets sets are pretty reasonably priced so it's well worth getting the most comprehensive set you can afford as they're invaluable for dealing with the really tight spots. The more so because of the range of other 1/4 inch based extension tools that are compatible with this size drive. I regularly find the fittings of extendable wratchet screw-driver kits will work with my socket kit.
