The chap from mobilo life did mine in ten minutes in an underground garage in Portsmouth.

Bit like changing the spark plugs or front head lamp bulbs ... if you know what you are doing it doesn't take too long (10 mins for the crank shaft sensor) but does involve some knuckle grazing.

It sits down out of sight behind the engine block at the back and has a cover and a screw to secure.....would suggest taking part to inde. and paying for 15 mins of knuckle grazing.....I think there used to be a link in the technical section with pictures on how to do it...

or even cheaper call mobilo life next time it doesn't start!
