Gets up with the intention of getting to the office early, goes into the garage and the beast refuses to start, cant push it out as it will block the road and noone about for a push, can't find a single paperclip in the house to see what the issue is , ends up doing contortions to get a mangled keyring into the right diagnostic pins and subsequently trapped a nerve in my neck.OWWWWWW. No faults stored !!!

Eventually she catches and is backed out but I had to lock the house and switched it off. DOH! wont start again. Calls one of my staff to come pick me up and the friggin thing starts as soon as he arrives.

It is now in the work car park in a non starting mood and im in bloody agony! Im guessing it's the crank sensor playing up again but the MID was showing coolant level warning but this might be a coincidence?

Got a meeting with the HR director later and hope this wont be the third installment of bad luck in what has been a crappy Monday !

Sorry to hear of probs, but if crank sensor should be an easy fix

Well still in agony and VX having trouble getting one in so the local factor is getting one for the morning, poss gen VX but as the one on mine is gen vx and 6 months old what the hell ( dont ask about the guarantee, it's a very , very long story).

In the mean time it's russian crank sensor roulette!! will she start or won't she

There have been quite a few posts recently about fairly new crank semsors failing - maybe a faulty batch?

If its the crank sensor, surely it would have stored a code  :-/

Code 19 i think but would a paperclip test tell you? The Beastie was showing a code 19 for a year or so before we decided we'd chanced it long enough & changed it.
