    Right lads and ladies ive got a 01 Corsa with about 90,000 on the clock.It was just serviced in July this year

    Over the past few weeeks its started to cut out on me while im stopped.When i go to try start it again it wont start.I could be waiting a few minutes to get it started again.Not very good when you have a pile of traffic backed up behind you.

    When i get it started again the Rev clock doesnt move.But if i knock the car off again and start it it works out.Nothing comes up on the dash board when it cuts off.The battery is grand as the lights and radio still works when this happens.There is oil and petrol in the car..

    Any suggestions or help folks please..

    Ok lads ive done abit of research and it seem to be the crank sensor thats causing the problem..

    My next question is how much roughly do people think it will cost to get this replaced.

    It does indeed sound like crank sensor. not a big job.
    You can buy the part on ebay for £18(€22). Should only take no less than half hour to replace so 35-40 quid in labour
