So if it were you then Harris, would you just do the cam sensor anyway.
And presumably I need a genuine VX one.

And could you do it for me

 

Personally I would. Yes genuine only, that you physically have to collect. Go Vauxhall have a trade warehouse over in Burgess Hill, so would start there.

Part number should be 9012039, but double check with them against the reg/chassis number before ordering

As for fitting, should be fine, as looking like limited overtime in December... so hypothetically I have half the month off

If I understand the situation in a right way I had something similar with my AR 25 a year ago. In my case I had to change the "electronic box" in left side of the gear box connected to the selector shaft which goes into the box. System did not know anymore which gear was selected. Had to select manually gears. I opened the box afterwards and realized that the sliding connectors were worn out, remember 300- 400 euro was the price of the spare part. This case have been discussed here, I did not find it yet. Can this be the case?

The selector switch can cause problems - this guide Auto gearbox selector switch removal and cleaning has some useful pictures.

With the code reader I have I can see which position the ECU thinks the selector switch is in which should help in diagnosis.

Odds are that it is the cam sensor though

When I touch the automatic gear selector in P position all the lights or leds PRND21 goes on

OP has a different problem to yours. All his LEDs behave normally

Do you borrow a used known working proper 2.2 cam sensor

Not for a 2.2. Correct number is 90520850

the engine goes into a get you to the nearest garage/home as best as it can mode ......

does it just apply to autos? (bet it does).

No .... it's the engine that's limping, not the gearbox

never had one or it myself .

you should try one ........ 3 pedals bad ..... 2 pedals good

He's "Bahpishhumbug"ing his own inability to drive a "proper" luxury saloon .... one where the number of pedals equals the number of feet ..

I thought better of Al ...... I didn't realise he was one of the 'I want to be in control' boys 

As you say .... 2 feet = 2 pedals! what more could you ever need

Thanks lads for all the input, If I can get codes read I will, but will probably get new cam sensor anyway and get Harris K Telemacher to bung it on when he can.

You mean my ability to use two feet to do more than one thing
