the tdc sensor is located on the top of the gearbox above the flywheel which is located against the engine block. it is secured by two 10mm bolts usually and has a small wiring block connected to it. they are known for building up a resistance over time and having to be replaced. you might have to lift the airbox out of the way on some models, but its generally not too fiddly to do.
