Okay, last stupid question - I promise.

Can anyone guide me in fitting the mounting bracket for the crankshaft position sensor?

I have the connector attached to the bracket, not sure where it mounts on the car. Black and white photo in the Haynes manual isn't clear enough to show where it goes and seem to have missed that one when taking photos of the disassembly...

Part 16:

Working with an MPI but guessing it's the same for both.

Thanks everyone,
- Andy.

MPI sensor goes into the hole in the transfer case.

MPI sensor goes into the hole in the transfer case.

 

He means the connector mount.

 

Its held through the top starter motor bolt, the bracket lies relatively flat to the flywheel housing.

Brilliant! Will see if I can untangle my mess of wires and get it fitted.
Was trying it in the lower starter bolt without success, then ruled it out due to nothing being mentioned in the Haynes manual on refitting the starter motor.

Thanks guys!

If you create an imgur account you can post it on here and others will benefit from your skill behind the lens :proud:

Here goes, the upper starter motor bolt holds it in position. It sits fairly flat.

Got it!
Wouldn't have guessed that without you guys, many thanks!

I don't remember it coming off there and the cable didn't naturally rest that way.
I'm guessing my car was put together late on a Friday and someone at Rover wanted to go home...
