EML has lit up for a few seconds a couple of times normally at high revs low gear.

Codes stored are  
19 - Incorrect RPM signal]
38 - o2 sensor 1 low voltage

Is there anything I should do. No noticeable symptoms to go with EML.

Early signs of crank sensor failure... it's probably about the right mileage for it too!

38 might be a knock on effect of the 19...

I'd address the 19 first.

How would I address the 19?
The rev counter does stick a bit but I shouldn't imagine that is connected in any way.  :-/

I suspect crank sensor will need replacing mate. Not expensive and not hard to do at all.

I recall (when I owned the car) that the crank sensor was original, and I thought "bloody hell, that's had a good life".. so I suspect it's finally getting tired!

Just make sure you route a new one nowhere near the exhaust, use a couple of cable ties.

It's the hot exhaust  (or in the case of original, hot oil cooler pipes) on the cable that kills them

As a guide, what sort of price should I be paying for a crank sensor?

As james says above CRANK sensor, 99% sure - it has a crazy effect on the engine management system when it starts to fail

Well as you will read on the forum, its not the sensor that usually fails - it's the cables that break down. Vaux ran the cable down the side of the block and hense why its a now-and-then fault, as the engine moves,the cable breaks and reconnects, giving all manor of readings to the ECU.

I think i paid about £34 direct from Vaux for mine

Search and you will find a good how to on here.

Best of luck!

ps. my Crank shaft sensor went at 68,000miles.

Mine is on 128000 miles so crank sensor has not done bad at all

Cranks
 Sensors that I have bought from Vauxhall were about £50, like James said really easy to fit takes around half an hour to do just make sure you keep it away from the exhaust manifold, there is a How To here is a link for ya
