Car now sold.

As happy as I am to have my channels back, I can't help but feel a little dissatisfied. Maybe it's my inquisitive nature but I'd really like to know what the issue was because if someone somewhere didn't do something to fix it, it could well happen again.

So the update…. last night I eventually got round to replacing the crank sensor. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the team of designers for putting the crankshaft sensor in the most awkward place. however I got it done and will just have to wait and see if it’s a fix or not. I will keep you all informed in the coming days. top tip if anyone is going to try this at home. Don’t mess around trying to unplug the sensor. Take the bolt out (it’s held in the sensor so shouldn’t fall out) then unplug the sensor when you take it out. Fit the new sensor and then plug it in. myself and one of my mechanics both had a go at unplugging it but it’s not easy to get to. Now that I’ve done one I reckon 20 minutes would change it but it’s always easier the second time round.

Switching the ignition off for a minute will reset the parking sensor system. I would recheck the fuses making sure there seated correctly if it was working before, check your hand book for fuse layout to steer you in the right direction to save some time
