the cam sensors are a pain as they come under various part numbers and if the wiring loom has been modified then its more expensive to replace , vauxhall quoted us £63 for just the sensor and autovaux do the wiring loom and sensor for £38

before you cahnge the sensor, check the connection and clean it up... sometimes saves a few quid...

been flicking through e-bay plenty of cam shaft sensors on there. Not sure if there's any new ones though.

personally ive been told before to get a cam sensor from genuine vauxhall specialists as the ebay ones could be ok /might not be ok as these are mainly from china.
