Point taken, henryd. 
Lazydocker. Do you mean you know this particular vehicle? Wingman had all work done by a VX main dealer, with a complete documented service history, and I can't recall seeing any reference to a crank sensor. However, when I changed the plugs recently, two of those on the passenger side were only finger tight, (honestly), so I wonder whether the car's been subject to the usual VX standards of attention.
Anyway, I won't be able to do much until the holiday break, so fingers are still crossed that it keeps going 'til then. Otherwise, SWMBO's Corsa will get some extra use.
Merry Christmas.
Bill.

The plugs in these engines often work loose so it's not unusual to find a couple only finger tight. I'd say that doesn't reflect badly on the car's previous maintenance regime. One thing that does help is to torque the plugs up, go and have a cup of tea while the crush washers settle then go round them again and double check the torque.
