Hi! Paul an excellent, clear, step by step guide. I have had to change the sender out a couple of times. We seem to put more salt on the roads in darkest Scotland! The pipes on top of the unit corrode badly and go porous. You have a smell of petrol outside the car but never see any on the drive so its difficult to trace. When I fit a new unit I usually coat the top of the unit with heavy grease to give it a bit more protection. I'd guess that this doesn't really apply to you in France!
The last time that I did this I actually found it easier to just drop out the tank as a unit. This gives you the chance to have a good inspection of the tank. These rust in Scotland as well! The tank is only held in with a few bolts. The only 'fiddly' part is the clamp on the filler pipe.

Regards

Scott
