Success is mine !
I bought a tap from Amazon. I had to grind it down to make it into a tapered tap, and after a few failures, it started, and cleared the threads ok. Really awkward to get to, but it’s done. New Bosch sensors fitted, and no warning lights![😀](//cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@latest/assets/svg/1f600.svg)

It’s all too easy to mix up the sensors when refitting. I doubt that it makes any difference to running, but while chasing another fault my code reader informed me I’d mixed them up ![😡](//cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@latest/assets/svg/1f621.svg)
