Good job ive a 4 pot then  

agree but us 4 potters still have the odd cam sensor fail,so i think it's swings and round abouts sorry  

As AA says they will still start, struggle but will   And not only the 2.2's it seems.......CraigR iirc told me his 2.0 will start as well with failed/disconnected cam/crank sensor

long live the 4 potter 8-) 8-) 8-)

[size=40]THE 4 POTTER.....KING OF THE OMEGAS [/size]

  ...Yup, quite right, king of the Omegas...

I wish mine was a 4 potter  

When we gonna do that swap then

Oi you , what the break do you think your doing with my car, there will be no swap

Relax .was gonna swap him an OOF cap for his disused set of golf clubs

Ok Ok but donīt ever scare me like that again, i am getting to old for it

[TheBoy]

I think I know what prompted this timely warning...    Thanks for the spot Jaime, and I'll be down the the dealers first thing Monday morning!  

I might still play it safe and take the wife's Fiesta to Leeds on Boxing Day.  
Baz.

Not a nice journey in the Fester.  You have breakdown cover, I think I may risk it if it were me if it covered a 'relay' type service....

This thread seems to have degenerated somewhat - so it took me a while to find the sensible response...
(V6s are miles better anyway - it was my main reason for buying the Omega in the first place - a bit of fun with the right foot - and I'm the wrong side of 50, so firmly on the side of the Grandads)  

If I can get the sensor to carry in the car with me, then I might just risk it - at worst I'll be spending Boxing Day contorting myself around the engine compartment - probably with Dad's help - and he's over 80!

[donut82]

Its a good sound piece of advice but for me any journeys have to be done in the Omega.

For a start its my only car and secondly if I wanted to worry about the car breaking down everytime I drove it I would have bought something crap and unreliable like a Merc

For God's sake Baz! don't drive a rather fiesta all the way to Leeds!  

Even if the CS goes, once it starts it wont normally stop, so make sure everyone has a wee before you start the drive.

Ps.  Thanks of the card - Merry Christmas to you all!

I think Its Really Good Advice TB There Seems to be alot of Crank Sensors Failling at the mo wonder if its to do with the weather ?

Yep Mine Started With the Cam Sensor Unpluged, but I Not With The Crank Sensor Unpluged but it could be knacked and it stil starts Fine
