Yep, enough juice to run the electrics but not enough to crank the engine....could also be a knackered battery to

[ryan2.2]

Would that make the orange light come on?

There is a guide to the error codes in the maintenance section (index here http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1259003779)

says 0340 is camshaft position sensor.

Quite common on the 2.2 apparently.

That wouldn't cause the starter to fail to operate in it's entirety.


@ the OP

Does the EML lamp extinguish within 5 seconds of the car starting once you have successfully bumped it?

[ryan2.2]

sorry what is the EML lamp is that the orange light if so no it stayed on after i bumped it

Camshaft sensor problem does make the car difficult to start so putting extra load on the battery.

Not saying the battery or charging system is beyond doubt but you don't have to crank a non starting engine for long to discharge the battery to the stage where it won't turn over at all.

Usually its hot start issues only with cam sensor on 4pot, cold starts won't be an issue.
