Are you saying that the sensor doesnt reach!!!! Im sure theres plenty of length on the cable, just needs to unclipped as i beleive the wires are clipped in in some places...
I would say the knocking noise is unrelated to the manifold...

Possibly driveshaft, ball joints or wheel bearing i would have thought

is there a way of exstending the wire then as the new maifold the bit wot screws in isnt long enuff can u cut and then re wire it ? and if i buy a new drive shaft should that cover the problem ?

The knocking could be either of those things, was just an idea from past experience.... get it into a garage so they can diagnose it..

The wires, i guess you can extend them tbh..... i personally wouldnt want but im sure it will fit as it is tbh

ok then mate you no any other little ways to bost the bhp ?

Exhaust with decat, possibly enclosed induction kit like a Simota etc..........
Other than that for more i would say a cam and remap.......... but talking more money

if you reroute the wire down the back of the engine that can help it reach..

any point getting remap but not cams ? and how much for a remap ruff price ?

Dunno, think a fitted cam and remap cost around £500 ish probs a bit more, wouldnt say there is any point in one without the other tbh
