How much of a job was it to do the cam sensor and the lift pump mate?
Mines stuck in the car park at work and they're starting to get p*ssed off at me because its in the 'car share' bays
cant they see its French 
Going to try towing it home late at night on Saturday, I'm having the same thing where it turns over strongly (especially after getting the jump leads on it) but just not catching, also getting the dial sweep (first time I've ever seen the fuel gauge at full
)
After having the leads on it, it did fire for a split second but died instantly, and now its killing the battery with repeatedly trying it and for that reason I don't want to kill the already temperamental starter motor.
There was literally no warning before, sometimes it would just click when turning the key but it would start if you were quick and 'caught' it, but it ran and drove fine. It also just had £15 of derv in the day before so wasn't empty. Came out of work and it was just dead :/
The starter motor does need replacing but am I right in thinking it isnt the cause of this particular issue? As it turns over strongly?
Will check the fuses tonight, really puzzling :S Sorry to hijack thread but it sounds almost the same, but don't want to go buy a new lift pump/sensor etc without knowing first
Is it still worth running diagnostics, as it was mentioned in here that it can bring up random unrelated ones?
Thanks
