Also reckon crank sensor, but if you'd like me to cast an eye over it..

Regarding the 017x codes, I remember it was playing up a bit from the beginning, and I think we came to the conclusion that it might be the MAF. Did you change that and did it resolve the issue? Memory is a bit hazy...

You are quite right Kevin, did have an issue, havn't changed the Maf, as the only issue aside the slightly high emissions at MOT time, is a bit of hunting at idle. Should change it really  .  casting eye would be great though, when would you like to cast? 
Crank sensor purchased from Andy C today, ( Cheers Andy, very helpful). Hopefully should solve one issue at least.

See how it goes with a new crank sensor, but I suspect the MAF has probably got a little worse and is triggering the fuel trim codes. Could just be a symptom of the crank sensor playing up, though.

You should have called

Classic crank sensor problem.  Easy to fit, if you can get it here I can do it for you while I have a break from sorting out the jaaaag.

Kitty is poorly

Thanks Kevin and Guffer,
 I have not got the Crank sensor yet. Hoping it will arrive today, before it rains!
When I get it on, I will post results. Don't want to risk another breakdown moving the car to Aldershot Guffer, thanks for the offer  so I will do it in the road like a proper mechanic!

It's arrived, but no time to fit before work today. On a course all day tomorrow, so its a Thursday morning job, I can't wait.

So we have to wait another 2 days to see if it works now

Sorry, only till midday tomorrow to wait now. Isn't it exciting

Job done, but unfortunately the battery was flat. There was no sign of this happening, but I guess that nearly an hour of hazards and several goes at starting and turning over, followed by a week of idleness finished it off.
On charge now, cant wait to see what happens when I put it back on. Any tricks there?

You'll have to reset the windows & sunroof, but other than that it should be fine: http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=90503.0

And probably radio & CD codes

Ok, knew it wouldn't be that simple. Car now in "Safe" mode on the led screen. Havn't looked on here yet for solution. I will be reading and researching this afternoon.

It's your radio that's in 'safe' mode .... not the car  It's waiting for a code.

You let your wife drive? With you in the car, at the same time?

Oh, OK   just that it was running in a very suspect manor also, and I only had a couple of minutes to have a look, read; wasn't concentrating, had to go out, looking for the worst to happen

[El_Swervo]

OK, so I have started the car again and it is missfiring quite badly. The new sensor, (genuine Vauxhall), has been fitted.
The fault codes via the pedal test are as follows;
0300,0301,0302,0304,0305 and 0306. So random missfire plus missfires on all cylinders. Also code 0335 that is the code for crankshaft position sensor "A" circuit malfunction.
Does this mean its a duff sensor, or something else. you can't fit the plug the wrong way round, but can you plug it in anywhere but the right socket? I can't see any other socket. I didn't remove the old sensor as it's pretty well tied in. ( I have plugged in the new sensor ).
