What's this??

[ForceIndia]

Just above and to the right/above the oil filter? The plug, which sensor is that for, it's snapped and only lightly fitting.

Knock sensor

remove the plug and see if your drive is any better, that might be your prob

What does it do?

(I know f**k all about engines, learning as I go along)

I know nothing about engines, learning FTW, i think it adjusts the timing to stop the engine pinging?

Detects detonation on the engine and retards the ignition to suit.

When the fuel mix is compressed it can sometimes burn before the spark which is called detonation, the knock sensor will bring the spark in earlier to deal with this. It usually happens when you run s**t fuel

Ok, I'll give it a run after work, then go from there. Cheers fella.
