Hi all. This is my first post, shame it's not a happy one. I'm posting this here in the hope that someone who knows more than me can point me in the right direction. My local garage suggested seeing an electrician.

I have an 03 connect tdci with around 130k on the clock.

I have had an ongoing running fault for the last few months, glow plug light flashes followed by the engine cutting out. It's steadily getting worse until now sometimes it wont start at all. Local garage read the codes and said it was the cam sensor which they changes twice. The first was from a motor factor the second a genuine ford part. Fault didn't improve.

I got myself a code reader on ebay and read the codes then cleared them. Re reading them after it played up again. I got cam sensor P0340 twice and the cranks sensor fault codes. Installed a ford crank sensor and the problem still remains. I'm guessing it could be wiring. I called ford yesterday to ask if my van would need the updated connector for the cam sensor. they said no. Are there any other parts that can be at fault within these circuits to cause the problems. Or are there any common areas of wiring that break down. Seems a coincidence that both sensors/circuits are at fault unless they share some circuitry.

Anyone have any ideas.

Thanks Nevil
