Default Help again..... update!

hi there, a couple of weeks ago i said that the check engine light was coming on, so i reset the ecu after fitting an alarm, battery was disconnected for a while, someone kindly posted a link to a self diag code page which i have done! from what i can gather the codes are

: coolant temp sensor
: Knock sensor



i drove the car on sunday again and the light lit so these are the stored codes! firstly could the knock sensor be anything to do with the ***** unleaded in it?!? its an import and i had to put a tennner in it, the lad i bought it off just ran it on unleaded to, got some octane booster to go in it next though!

and secondly, cans omeone post a pic of where these sensors are? and how much are they roughly to replace?!

Thanks very much peeps!!!!

Why are you wanting to replace the sensors because they throw a CEL? May be better to assume there giving a genuine warning and not ignore them.

Get some decent SUL (Tesco's 99 octane or Shell Optimax) & booster in there ASAP and reset the ecu.

Never had a coolant temp code but a search should find something. There is water in the rad? How's the temp guage? Should sit about mid way.
