Would checking the old one reveal anything? Maybe its developed a high resistance or something.

It would be interesting to see what technology is used (would need to split it and get it under the microscope), I suspect hall effect but it could be inductance based.
I seem to recall that somewhere in Vx's documentation its called an inductive pickup, but that probably is unrelated to technology used...

So, who going to quote Auto addict first them, 'I told you so!'

I think it's the cam sensor...... ::)

Why didnt you mention that in the first place AA woulda saved a lot of bother  ;D

Oh and it passed the supermarket test as well  :y

A big thankyou to you all......for helping over this......hopefully its sorted now  :y

I guess the big test is when you use it for work tomorrow....

Even tho that does sound an interesting proposition  ;D I think Mark has a better use for it  ;)

Think i'll just give him some verbal for wasting my money for him telling lies to me!  >:(

I'm sure in your garage you have something larger and more painful.....

It really pisses me off when dealer claims to have done something and hasn't (common occurance at my local dealer in Milton Keynes)  [smiley=thumbdown.gif]

Altho i did at one point think about putting the faulty cam sensor back in the new one box and taking it back, saying sorry wasnt needed, I'll have a refund please  ;D

But decided against that......just in case Joe Public bought it and then would have ended up fitting a faulty sensor.
