Cam sensor failures are unheard of on v6 models.  However, 4 pot owners will suffer one at some point.

Hmm. I can see the problem. You omitted the bit about connecting it to the mains afterwards.  ;D

So far mine has been changed twice in the past year or so, the first sensor failed after 6months so it was replaced again under warranty which was a bonus, its been fine since. :y

On the Vectras i've had (with X20XEV's) the Cam sensor used to fail at about every 40K.... don't know what was significant about that mileage but it was an easy job to replace.
