Had a good read of the appropriate OOF maintenance guide and Tried to 'paperclip' the "pup-mobile" today; but no amount of bridging pins would provoke a flash code. :-/

I`m guessing there might be a wire loose/disconnected somewhere(?)....I`ll have a deeper 'poke around' behind the fuse/socket panel on Sunday; when I have more free-time.

The engine started just-fine today; no hint of the previous recalcitrance. :-?

I have a 'proper' code reader if you want to try that instead?

your EML does come on (and go off) when you start the car I take it?

Yes, the EML cycles at start-up.....I`ll have a poke-about first and see if there are loose wires/contacts at the diagnostic socket and report back......thanks Jimbob :y

Just to update the topic:
I eventually was able get the codes: there were the 'usual suspects', but the major one was '19' (that`s "N-N-N-N-Nineteen" a`la Paul Hardcastle) ;D

When I had a 'root about' near the crankshaft-sensor itself, the cable`s aluminium wrapping and the insulation was crumbling apart in my hands....I have soldered-in a temporary replacement cable (and the engine now starts and runs ok) but I doubt if the repair has the long-term integrity of a 'real' part; so, when finances permit (next month), I`ll be getting a genuine Vx sensor and swapping it for the pro-tem (Deb-bodged) one. :y
