My Miggy won't start, I was/am talking to Lee via PM about it but he's gone off to work now, so just putting out the feelers for some extra help

Lee had me paperclip it, and it came up with 12 135 and 31 all of which I believe are not a problem, I've been trying for 2 hours to get it started that I've flattened the battery so that is on charge for the next few hours or more, but in the mean time does anybody else have an idea what could be wrong?

Have you done basics checked for fuel and spark. if these are ok I would be thinking crank sensor.

[Elite Pete]

I would say its still the crank sensor as 19 doesn't always show

+1 on a crank sensor. Cheap and easy to replace first call anyway

[Ratty]

so it seems it's unanimous on the crank sensor, how cheap is cheap? and exactly how easy is it for me who has arthritis in his back and knees?

what I'm thinking is can anyone give a price to supply one and fit it for me? 20 years ago I would have jumped at the chance of doing this kind of job plus a few others that have been done. but sadly... ... Anyway enough of the tugging at heart strings, can anyone help?

prices are on earlier threads I think coastie 123 code ideas has them. I would offer but am too far away but Im sure someone will.

Mine had the same problem, eventually got it started my getting a tow....   

I used the following to help me change my crank sensor: http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1174321688

And i got a new sensor from lmfvauxhall £36.00 for mine

I really wouldn't get one of these. Go to your local Vauxhall dealer and get a proper genuine one

Does the scuttle have to come off to get to the plug? I've had a look for mine and I can't see it let alone get to it  :-/

[Welung666]

If you can get one I'll pop over Saturday and fit it for you John

[Ratty]

You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar 

Daz has been helping me find one but dunno whether I can get today or tomorrow, but either way I should have one by Saturday .

I'm working so that's the earliest I can get over unfortunately. Now I got to remember how to get to you

[Ratty]

Pm'd my addy to ya, just to refresh your memory 

[Ratty]

Ok, took the scuttle off and think I've found the right plug can someone just confirm I have and that it is the oval one please.
