Hi guys Merry Christmas!!
Just wanted to say thanks for all the help with my car. Because of it I was able to make it down to my Mums for Christmas and hopefully plans made to go to Northern Ireland for New Years. It is also my Dads 10 year anniversary so I can visit his grave without any hassle.
Will post again giving in dept details as to how the car is doing but it has been starting up with no struggle and no warning lights on dash when running. Old sensor did not work when i put it back in.
Anyway thanks again and hope everybody has a nice Christmas 
Nice one. And thanks for validating the solution. Have a safe trip.

Best wishes from me too.
Usually, we spend more time at this end, nutting out possible solutions to members problems, than it takes the member to actually fix the fault.
If the solution is not validated ( which often happens) we have to start from square one the next time.
For my part, your reply has confirmed suspicions about the sensor; so I greatly appreciate your feedback, probably more than you realise.
Happy driving.
