My diesel vectra is sometimes difficult to start whether it is hot or cold have had it plugged in to diagnostics at local kwik fit no error codes found battery is fine glow plugs fine mechanics suggested could be crankshaft sensor or camshaft sensor, also suggested taking car to vauxhall dealership and plugging into their diagnostic machine any advice would be appreciated

Good advice from K*** F** for a change on taking car to a garage who know what they are doing and have the correct equipment for diagnosing .Very possible it could be crank sensor or cam sensor , probably the former .

hi, you could get ur hands on a new glow plug relay control switch, it should be near your car battery, you will be able to pull it free and disconnect the wire plug, then fit new relay and bingo its sorted,
check out e-bay for new switch but make sure you get the right relay there shonld be a part number on your old relay so when you go to buy
one make sure the part numbers are the same....
good luck...
