Well took the car back to the same guy who suggested a new sensor crank (?!) is this the same thing as what you are talking about scouselander? Anyway it was very frustrating because all the way to the garage the car was running fine! Typical tho it has been like this fine one minute then playing up the next! Anyway had the work done (only charged £5 believe it or not cos he is a family friend) and it hasn't done it all day so fingers crossed!

No the crank shaft position sensor is not the same thing but it could be the source of the problem. I would have thought the car would have stopped completely if it was the crank shaft position sensor though.

I suppose the best thing to do would be to wait and see if it plays up again. If it does start running funny again then try my suggestion and disconnect the air flow meter, if it is faulty you will notice an immediate improvement when it is disconnected.

Ok thanks for that - I have had the crank sensor fitted and touch wood its been running fine for two days now - if I experience any problems again I will suggest getting the above looked at.
