Just a little update...thanks for all the help. I definitely overestimated my capacity to do this job, but hopefully will complete it eventually. I managed to get the sensor out of its location relatively easily. But I had a lot of trouble disconnecting the connector. After about 8 hours it came free with the help of a screwdriver (and maybe a little divine intervention). In the meantime I had managed to release both the handbrake and knocked it out of gear so the car rolled down the drive and collided with the front of the house cracking 2 bricks and damaging the bumper all the while with my head under the foot pedals (yes, should have chocked the wheel...). After extracting the old sensor finally I inserted the new sensor and promptly lost it God knows where. Several hours of searching and probing with an endoscope have failed to locate it. Now waiting for a 2nd replacement sensor...then replace the bumper and rebuild the house...
