Fair enough, that seems way out of my depth, I'll get someone else to do it I reckons (cable routing that is)!

So where do I find said camshaft sensor and is it easy to remove/clean?

cam cover off, ecotect strip off, you'll see it between cam spockets - plug is under ecotec strip.

Cleaning wont help

Nice one cheers. Hope this bloody part comes tomorrow, gonna risk it, bet I end up buying another one though :-(

Fanx for all your help, and I'll follow up when she's purring.

Easy to change...

...it's the plug going into to the top of the spark plug cover.

If I remember rightly all you need to do is take the spark plug cover off and the drive belt.  Timing belt cover off and you should be able to get at it.  It's between the two cams (funnily enough).  

As said before I'd try giving it a little clean first and see if there is any change otherwise buy genuine to avoid a false economy.

Hiya, its being done now, not by me either - here's hoping! Getting the IACV/throttle body/breathers cleaned out too.

I'm a bit confused though - the sensor I got was Siemens, I thought Siemens were a good make for Omega parts, didn't think they were poor OEM bits? Obviously a bit late to back it, ordered Sat arrived Mon. My bad I suppose, but I'll learn from it.

Is it just that Siemens do *some* good parts, and others aren't worth trying?

Just for future reference.
