Hello again,

Had other probs but am now ready to book me car in to get sensor done.

Still dibious about which one to have done, so many conflicting reports, I need a gee up, should I do the crank sensor or cam sensor first.

Also will the code clear automitically and engine light disappear if the correct choice of sensor is fitted???

Thanks

So i'll go for the crank sensor first then lads, thanks for all your advice, its much appreciated  

Roughly how much should I be charged for replacing it at a garage??

I paid about £35 for the sensor, I could have saved a bit through trade club, but needed the car.  Cost of total job was £125 by local independent garage in July this year - this included something for the call out from the garage to tell me it was the crank sensor.

follow the hand of god go with crank sensor. probably need changing soon as said.  you can always clean cam sensor as well if you still have problems after. hth

Hi all,

Just though i'd post this for info. I have just spoke to our local vauxhall specialist about my sensor problem and he asked me if it was limiting revs to about 4500rpm, i replied "yes" and he was adamant that it is the cam sensor, who am I to argue. He's gonna put a new sensor on for me £50. Doesn't sound a bad price  

Cheers all
