My Miggy won't start, I was/am talking to Lee via PM about it but he's gone off to work now, so just putting out the feelers for some extra help :)
Lee had me paperclip it, and it came up with 12 135 and 31 all of which I believe are not a problem, I've been trying for 2 hours to get it started that I've flattened the battery so that is on charge for the next few hours or more, but in the mean time does anybody else have an idea what could be wrong?

Have you done basics checked for fuel and spark. if these are ok I would be thinking crank sensor.
-
I would say its still the crank sensor as 19 doesn't always show ;)
-
+1 on a crank sensor. Cheap and easy to replace first call anyway
-
so it seems it's unanimous on the crank sensor, how cheap is cheap? and exactly how easy is it for me who has arthritis in his back and knees?
what I'm thinking is can anyone give a price to supply one and fit it for me? 20 years ago I would have jumped at the chance of doing this kind of job plus a few others that have been done. but sadly... :(... Anyway enough of the tugging at heart strings, can anyone help?
;)
-
prices are on earlier threads I think coastie 123 code ideas has them. I would offer but am too far away but Im sure someone will.

I really wouldn't get one of these. Go to your local Vauxhall dealer and get a proper genuine one ;)

Does the scuttle have to come off to get to the plug? I've had a look for mine and I can't see it let alone get to it :-/
-
If you can get one I'll pop over Saturday and fit it for you John :y
-
You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar :y
Daz has been helping me find one but dunno whether I can get today or tomorrow, but either way I should have one by Saturday :).

I'm working so that's the earliest I can get over unfortunately. Now I got to remember how to get to you ;D ;D
-
Pm'd my addy to ya, just to refresh your memory :y
-
Ok, took the scuttle off and think I've found the right plug can someone just confirm I have and that it is the oval one please.

Thats the right one ;)
-
Thank you Pete :D :y

had to change mine today. It had caused 2 cut outs during 2 u-turns leaving me in the middle of the road and 2 failure to start from outside my house in the last 3 weeks.
it cost 50 or 60 from the local dealer - list price was 72.
can't remember exact price but all up with replacement o-ring for the sump plug, 6 litres of 10-40 semi synthetic and a filter it cost me £101.60p.
Making the change was fairly simple.
-
Mine just failed to start outside the house, had been working fine Tuesday night, Wednesday morning turned the key and it turned over nicely but wouldn't fire :( it only happened once before and that was last September but a continued turning of the key had working it again and not a problem with it since... till now that is.
a few years ago I would have jumped at doing this kind of job, it is easy, but I suffer with arthritis in my back and knees and can't get under cars like I used to hence asking for help to fit it. it is embarrassing though because it IS so easy.
My local Vauxhall dealer Brandish wanted £98.11 for the sensor and they didn't have one in stock and would have to order it in, Great Central Vauxhall, Rugby apparently have both versions in stock and I'll pick one up tomorrow not sure on the price but they can't be worse than Brandish, and fingers crossed, I'll be able to get a friend to get it on his TC which might help with the price a bit too ;)

i have got one here from a 3.2i v6 auto, if someone confirms thats the right one and lets me know on here by the morning i am in the office at 730 to 8am before going to the auctions, i could dig it out for you and get it mailed out for a very small £
it works fine as removed from a running car.

Simon, thank you very much for the offer but as per Andy's post it doesn't look like it's the same.
But thanks for thinking about it, it's really appreciated :)
-
I changed mine two weeks ago, looks exactly the same
-
Got the part today, £47.88 +VAT as per Andy B's post :) I can't believe Brandish wanted £98.11 +VAT for it.

It was the crank sensor, Lee came over and fitted it for me (he says embarrassingly) Thanks Lee You're a star and thanks to everyone else that steered me to the culprit :) :y
