Is this my crank sensor?

When cranking, the fuel pump should run and it should pressurise...

In the under bonnet fuse box at the back right are two purple relays....are they properly inserted.....can you swap them over....

That didn't work either. I did notice though that the 2 small green fuses in there had blown - that may help out with my overheating problem! Not that I have a danger of overheating at the moment :-/

Blown.....are the large fuses in the smaller black box above the battery all ok.....

AndersH · 31 January 2007, 16:54:29

No, they appear ok too.
Thanks for your help!

Do you know when the fuel filter was last changed...?

Can you get somebody to check for 12V at the fuel pump connector under the inspection cover in the boot whilst you crank the engine....

If the service history is all filled in correctly, the last time the fuel filter was changed was almost 30000 miles ago...
I'll have to find someone who knows how to check for 12v and try it, I don't have a multimeter - to be honest it'll probably get to a garage before I try anything else - just hope it's not going to be pricey!

Well it's running again, got it towed to a garage and it took them a while to find it, in the end they took the crank sensor out and put it back in again

Don't know how I didn't do it properly as it seemed to be in fine but there we go! Shame it cost me £117 to find out this way but I'm glad I attempted it, made me a lot more confident about working on a car.
Thanks for everyone's help.

crank sensors-easy to replace if you have a car ramp or are the size of a 4year old-i got mine done at a cheap garage.
