Yes I have every intention of replacing the cam sensor, the query is regarding reading number 2 code PO700 re transmission control module, sorry if I appear "thick" .
Cam sensor (P0340 in engine ECU) often causes engine ECU to give invalid data to TCM (which will be a P1700 in the TCM), which causes TCM to tell engine ECU to use reduced power (P0700 in engine ECU)

Don't know how long they last ,the 2.2 is an 03 plate has done almost 96,000 miles , I have every bill  for it from day 1 and as far as  I can tell it has never had  replacement before.

Should last 100k, mine failed at around 105k I think. New GM one went on then, still good at 174k.

Luck of the draw how long they last. I suspect age is as big a factor as mileage TBH.
