Ok been and done the clip test and got 0335 as the result so I assume that the cranckshaft sensor is knackered. I have managed to drive home and the horrid grating/rattling noise has reduced but still there.
Is it practical to try and change it myself? and can anyone suggest a good place to get one other than a Vauxhall dealer.
stick with genuine part.

easy on 2.0 without aircon, fiddly with aircon.

doubt that is cause of metallic noise though! check cambelt!

they both seem ok, there is no play and they look fine.
Thanks to all of you for your time.
I will need to take off the crankshaft sensor to get a replacement, as I said I have aircon so how difficult is it to get at ? -any special tricks?

Hi Mick,
this sensor is bad? Or only dianostic says if error in sensor?
Because 1) checkit diagnostic and 2) tested this separate sensor

same as here http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1234899864/8#8

And, small question. How are old oil? If very old, includes much metallic dirtiness and impedance hereof sensor is changed.
Correct values  500-800Ohm.
Often helps dismount sensor, clearense and mount back.
I would have done that before change crankshaft sensor.

The mere fact exchanges sensosr is involvement, becaus off european cars cabel from off sensors is under oil tube. I donīt know as i version with RH steering.
 
If changed sensor, must ease away oil tube because of extraction cabel of sensor. Dirty work.

I hope if undesrtand me :-) Bay
