I was once told by a Vx Mech, that this was a known problem by Vx and it was something to do with a device in the boot area!!!!! now I really can't say much more than that, if its true or not and what the device is either!!!!!! :-? :-? :-/

Also, the Auto box takes a little longer to change up when cold, something to do with warming the CAT up, what I do to stop this is press the ICE button (Next to the gear selector)  for a short while, keeps the revs nice and low when cold.

Mine was the Crank Sensor as correctly told on here, cost me £142 at a garage cos it was during the winter I really couldn't be a@@ed to get under there myself, done an oil change last week and saw where it is and looks real easy to change tho!!

As said before, the price is what someone is willing to pay, she does look like a stunner, i've had a 2.6 2001 for nearly 6 years and its done me proud, still looks good!! so if you like it and it fulfills your needs go for it! but just be aware that these cars lose money faster than the Northern Rock!
