The light should go out when the car is running, its should only be on for a couple of seconds when the ignition is first turned on, unless there is a fault.

I don't think you can do the test with the engine running on a 4 pot... Just ignition on :y :y

Ive found out that its the camshaft sensor thats at fault,
VX want £42.10 plus vat p/n 93171450 & LMF VX want £14 p/n 90458252.which one is cost effective?

How difficult is this?,whats involved? Never done this before :'(

Cheers
