The Crankshaft sensor was a Lucas one. The problem is do I spend £80 on a Vauxhall sensor with no guarantee that's the problem.
The car is driving me mad now. Feel like beating it with a tree branch like John Cleese in Faulty Towers.

We replaced the crankshaft sensor cost £24.00 done 45 trouble free miles then it starts again, had enough now going to scrap it.
In those 45 mile ran perfect mix of driving on the local dual carriageway and local roads so was able to give it a good test.

This car is now getting on my nerves going to try some petrol and a match.
A few months back we cleared out the part where the air intact is for the heater it gets full of leaves etc it has a vent at the bottom just put a hose pipe in to it to flush it away (cant get your hand in) that may be where to water came from that was running onto the multiplug on the crankshaft sensor. It was running from the scuttle onto the multiplug that is at the point that we started getting trouble with the car.
I just don't know whether that was the problem when it played up yesterday the EML light did come on.

It was with the garage for a week, they could not really find anything wrong with it they moved the crankshaft sensor cable as it was rubbing up against a block and a water hose. They were saying that they had a corsa in that had a misfire and they came to the conclusion that it was the way the cable was routed that it was picking up a false reading. They drove it around and could not get it to misfire at all. We collected it put some more diesel in it and as we drove away it played up for a couple of seconds then settled down. At home took out the sender unit in the fuel tank and cleaned out the filter which had some bits in it but it was not to bad.
Just have to try it now that the problem with intermittent faults. The garage have not charged us but we have said we will come to some arrangement if it is solved.

Car has been with garage for 2 days they cant find anything wrong with it starts fine. So took it out to try and get it to play-up did about 6 miles and just as we got on the bypass it died got it a layby left it 10 minutes got it to the next island it missed a few times but did not want it to go onto the island in case it died again and caused traffic chaos. Left it 20 minutes got it restarted and drove back to garage.

Tried to start it this morning just turned over came home from work mid afternoon and got it to start left it ticking over when we rang a garage we have used in the past drove it the 2 miles to them with no problem they are now going to see if they think its the pump has gone as well.
Will scrap it if it is the pump, only cost us £240 5 years ago 16 years old now with 140,000 on the clock.

Is there a pump in the fuel tank or does it rely on the pump on the engine to draw fuel from the tank.
Taken up the cover in the boot to expose the fuel tank 2 pipes going to it but will look again the daylight.
Its a shame to scrap the car but not going a spend a grand on it nor worth for a car that 16 years old.

Think it sorted now this is the report from the AA.
Patrol found the following fault code/s:System : Engine control - 73L / Diesel EDC 15C4P1220 - Unknown fault. Error Message : .P1345 - Unknown fault. Error Message : .find crank sensor multiplug had water ingress, clean, ok.
Water in the multiplug for the crankshaft sensor hope it fixed now.

It finally died with me driving the car left home it hesitated a couple of time then died then would not restart it then restarted went a couple of hundred yards then dies again and got it restarted did that 3 times until it completely wont start at all. Left for about 20 minutes while waiting for AA before they came got it to start and took it the 400 yards back home. When it was playing up it was very smokey.
