Thumbing through haynes manual as I type - dont think those 4 leads are actually the plug leads. 

As I say - apologies for lack of grasp of V6.  Trying to get up to speed with it, though Haynes don't make it easy!!

They are breather pipes mate.

Feel free to take the pi$$

Some of it is my fault, i did not notice you had a 2.6 (which has coil packs) and not HT leads.

Out of Tunnie, we always do.
Don't worry mate everyone was new once.

Ahh - now I understand

So it sounds like a new crank sensor might be a good place to start - I assume genuine vauxhall would be preferred to pattern parts.

Since Dopey is new we better enlighten him:

1) I live at home, lots of people like to make fun of that.
2) I used to be a student bum, most thing i still am
3) My car only has 2/3 of an engine
4) I have an old mans bike, which apparently is slow!

liking the 2/3 of an engine thing!!

Bike can't be slower than mine - due to it currently being scattered around much of the garage.  Got a tad carried away on it's pre-winter strip down

Far as i remember, they don't take the pi$$ of that.

Nice one fellas

I'll add the crank sensor to this weekends chores - along with finish kitchen, bathroom and bike and see how she runs.

Thanks for the advice - will keep you posted

Perhaps not face to face ......

Guys - this may be an odd question, but how does the plug (for the crankshaft sensor) at the top rear of the engine actually clip into place.  I can get my hands to it (well finger-tips), but dont want to break anything by forcing it when there may be a clip.  seems a shame to have to take the scuttle off (especially given that the last person to try it has rounded off the nuts on the wipers).

wasn't me - honest
