well thats ok cos just asked them over the phone and its a geuine part and they only have one left, they have o put on site equivalent part as the other part number is for the modified part as well, they have sold over hundreds of these and had no return's, or replacements.

Your missing the point, their website states its not geniune. If you buy one and a pattern turns up, you don't have a leg to stand on.
Tunnie, the words "talking to" and "brick wall" spring to mind. You`re fighting a losing battle with this one mate ;D ;D ;D

Thats exactly the point I was trying to make Tunnie - certainly didn't get through to rustym95.

The part nº(s) quoted are GM part nºs but it specifically says not a genuine GM part but equivalent to these GM part nºs.

hang on a minute here, you cut off which sensor? Crank or Cam?

This is not a good idea, remember it could be the cable thats at fault, not the actual sensor. You should have replaced the whole unit. (cable & sensor)

definitely cam sensor mate new one came with new  plug and about 9" of lead with bare wires on end  sensor looks the same as the old one but has slightly different plug hence new lead   the dealer said this was quite normal as oruigenal is no longer available from opel so as they recommended we cut off the old lead and soldered in the new one and fitted new sensor which hasn't changed a thing.                     as regards is it worth doing up yes definitely  i bought this car when it was just over a year old its a irish  20 cd omega  but is same spec as  uk elite and is in mint cond ows me nothing well worth the work especially in these times we live in

thanks for all your help chaps ,miggys cam sensor is now fixed .  after talking to a friend i decided to check the loom around the engine and found a broken wire on the cam sensor lead, where it goes into the trunking in front of the timing belt cover, the edge of this cover had wore its way through the lead so ecu was not getting a signal from said sensor what a relief !..... thanks again great site will let you know how iget on with the rest of it   all the best , westy :y
