Morning all,
I am looking for some advice. The Omega has been in the garage for 5 weeks now
Quick History -
Car cut out on motorway, everything went, luckily I was in heavy traffic only doing about 5 mph, pulled over, it would not start, left for a couple of minutes and it fired up again, 2 minutes down the road same thing happened.
Called AA and after a couple of hours messing about the car was put on a flat bed and took to the garage.
They checked the codes which indicated it was either the crank or cam sensor. They ended up replacing both, still had the issue. They suspected wiring fault, but the electrical engineer confirmed the loom was ok and advised that the ECU may be faulty, so they removed the ECU and sent it off to have diagnostics done, The company who did this confirmed it was 100% OK, so they fitted again and the car would start at all!!. Suspecting the company had botched it they sent it back them, and again they confirmed nothing was wrong with it, so the garage sent it to the dealership who has condemned it saying it is completely screwed.
They have quoted £1200 for a new one (Just for the part)
The 3rd party who did the checking are taking no responsibilty for this at all saying the part was fine when it left their shop. The garage (Who I have to admit have been very helpful throughout) have said they cannot find an after sales replacement part.
Can anyone suggest what I can do here? The garage has said if I can find the required parts they will be happy to fit them and have supplied me the parts numbers required,
ECU -

(These are the other numbers on the ECU)

Any help or advice here very welcome. If we have to bite the bullet and go through dealership we will be looking at the thick end of 2grand in total , which would be a killer just before xmas and to be honest is probably more than the car is worth in the current market.
