Must have been a moment of real glory discovering that one!  Biggest money saver ever.

If it wasn't a leak from some Vauxhall tech, then the other possibility is that someone opened a Draper/Gunsons tester to find...a switch!

Bit like the BMW Service reset tool - short 2 pins for x seconds, release for y seconds, short again for z seconds...

Bloody glad its there whichever way - my drivers glovebox holds a printout of the codes and...a paperclip!

Got to be the crank sensor - most common problem with the v6's.  Don't burn it yet!
