....what are the two sensors that plug into the top rear of the cylinder head, near the cambelt end?

i've just had a little adventure removing the intake so i can do a quick clean and replace the gasket, had to disconnect the spade-clip connections on these two. never really paid em much attention til now. very mysterious looking thingies with no clear purpose?

Drain plugs are only about a quid from gsf anyway so no major problem ;)
