if there is a fault, the engine wont start. unsure on prices. but if its got power steering, the sensor sits behind the pas mount. if not, can get it from underneath id say.

Mine was fiddly but not impossible and can be reached easily with the car on ramps.

Well apparently it's when the car is driven over 120mph the EML comes on but when you let off and let the revs die down it goes???? SteveW said it's the crank sensor but it has no affect on the running of the car, i plan to drive the car for a bit then have it off the road to do a few bits to it so i thought i may aswell get everything sorted.

generally speaking. if there is a problem with the crank sensor, the engine wont run

They are a piece of piss to change. They are held in by one 10mm bolt and the pop out once thats undone.
They cost about £40 from Vauxhall.
