What engine?

Most VX engines have the sensor located at the aux drive pulley. 12v and 1.2
16v engines have them bolted inside the block, C12, C/X14, C/X16's have them
bolted externally facing the pulley itself.

OK, you'll need to access the sensor by removing the drivers side, front
wheel (assuming you're in the UK!). The sensor is bolted inside the engine
block, at the rear, just at the pulley that drives the belt for the
alternator.

It's a two pin connector, and should be the only thing with a connector in
that area.
