Hey yeah it is just under the main water intake pipe on engine (just under the bit where the themostat usually goes in). Should have one wire attached, I measured my sensor with a ohmmeter and it was infinite (which means its screwed) so replaced it today, cost me 25 bux. Took it for a quite drive and it started to measure slightly ( didnt take it for enough drive for it to warm up properly as diff is poached so dont want to drive it much).
Here's a figure which may help.
