Better to jack it under the front subframe - Xsara Pic sills are not exactly known for their strength and integrity!!
However the pic Marc posted shows it to be on the top of the bell housing.... so no jacking required.

Re: Diagnosing a fault
Please, can you help a Citroen newbie and point me in the correct area? Perhaps a photo of the engine area?
I wish I had not got involved with this car, but they're my parents, so I cannot leave them permanently stranded
Thanks again and sorry for being a doughnut!

Re: Diagnosing a fault
I managed to find the sensor and fitted a new one. Sadly, the car still refuses to start! It makes a sound like it is going to fire into life, but it just sits there laughing at you!
The next thing I need to check is the continuity of the wiring. Is there a pinout for the ECU so I can check it? Trying to trace the wire was tricky, I think I need glasses!
I'm not sure what else I can do, the Lexia diagnostics showed the crank sensor.
I would welcome any ideas.
