Right, apologies for the delay in replying, Ihad to go to work
they don't like to pay me unless I turn up for some reason!
So...
Manual or auto ?
Auto - if you were wondering was the car out of Park/the switch under the lever wasn't working as it should, no all cool
Biggriffin and Enceladus-
My part number is 90492061 (both the one fitted to the car and the spare I have) will gladly post a pic tomorrow just to clarify. It's the Siemens one.
Also thanks for the more accurate resistance readings on these sensors.
Looking like biggriffin's sensor no good for me, but thanks v much for the kind offer
So are we saying the iron shavings on the end
isn't/cannot be causing the issue?
I happily have till Monday now to do some other jobs (coolant hose swap, idler, coppergrease brakes before winter bites, groaning suspension) so will be able to monitor how car runs/if starts scientifically day by day.
