Codes are:

12 Diagnotic startup

31 Crank sensor--to be expected as engine not running

16 Knock Sensor 1

What do I need to do??? Is it just the sensor as I always use good fuel.

Do you loose the 31 when engine running? (short out pins, and start)

Sounds like knock sensor is knackered or unplugged.  Someone will be able to tell you which knock sensor it is (v6 has 2)

Not entirely sure - it may keep retarding the ignition on that bank. Though I doubt it would keep retarding until it does damage, I couldn't say for certain.

Have you done any work recently (ie, is it possible its been left unplugged, or wiring caught somewhere)

No,nothing that would interfere with a sensor.

Can one the experts tell me where No.1 knock sensor is located and if it is a reasonably easy job to change?
Are these thingies just plug'n'play kind of thingies or what?
