Hey people,
Just wondered if anybody knew where the rev sensor was located on a 1.4 lx 1999? Cheers. Joni

Rev sensor? You mean crank sensor?
Or if the speedo has stopped working you might want to look at the speed sensor. Both are fitted to the gearbox.

I don't think that will help.
What's the problem?

Ed is right.
Speedo (mph) is the sensor on the gearbox, revs (rpm) takes it off the crankshaft position sensor.
If there is no rev-counter action, its unlikely the crank sensor is gone or else the engine would not
run very well if at all.
WD40 will definately not help any of the two sensors.

Nope.
Crankshaft position sensor works by detecting a magnet positioned on the flywheel and has nothing to do with gearbox. The ECU then works out revs from this, as well as which cylinder to spark next, ignition timing etc.
