Have a good look at the backplate where the sensor mounts and clean off any rust that has lifted that will prevent the sensor from seating correctly.

I wouldn't file the sensor bracket down unless you are 100% sure that will cure the problem.

Thanks Mike. I will have another look at that back plate to make sure there isn't a rust scale there that's keeping the sensor a bit high. Odd, though, that the original sensor that I put back in is working fine (once it has had its half hour drive and restart - its morning coffee). Maybe the original one is still stronger than the aftermarket one.

Cheers,
