Depends on the day of the week, whether it's raining elephants etc...

Unfortunately the crank sensor could just give up completely and leave you stranded :o :o :o

You might be lucky though... Mine was playing up for months before I finally changed it ::) ::) ::)

You won't damage you're engine but it could fail at any time so be prepared with adequate breakdown cover - you've probably been driving around with a code 19 for months (maybe) without realising. :y

a gamble, could pack up while driving causing a stall and hence no power assisted breaks or steering. Having said that i drove mine 10 miles to a garage to have it changed within half and hour of it playing up. Before i knew better/of oof.

law of sod will ensure that it fails at most inconvenient time....

Been there, done that, always carry a spare crank sensor now!!
