E36 maybe but taking the battery out of an E46 in the boot to look for a crank sensor, you'll be looking for a while

You need to take off the intake manifold to get at the crank sensor on an N46
Thanks for that.
I was afraid of that answer. Thought i had seen it the last time i opened the manifold to replace the gasket and plug seals but couldn't be sure. Other sites had suggested down the side of the engine as well, but i thought i would make sure :smiling:

Oh well, another backbreaking job of bending over that engine this week!

By the end of the week it should have:
- new battery
- spark plugs
- ignition coils
- crankshaft sensor
- air filter
- oil filter & oil change
- pollen filter

Car has 130,000kms (81,000miles)

Is there anything else i should look at, at this mileage?
Fuel filter perhaps? Is that located underneath the car at the rear?
