Mike is quite correct, testing a power Vis off the car and especially with 12v can (and usually does) cause it to over run and lock up with the internal cam depressing both the microswitches at the same time, this renders the Vis motor totally inoperative.
Mine do indeed incorporate among other improvements a limiter pin and are bench tested from 9v through to 16v to ensure they cannot over run .

Thanks Mike and Dave for pointing this out. Yes, I agree that testing with TOAF (using 12v) is best done with the linkage still attached to the actuator. I was forgetting that when I tested mine off the car I used a 9 volt PP3 and there was no overrun. Simon

OK, I've now replaced the cam sensor, cleared the errors and the car still doesn't start, TOAF is still showing a camshaft sensor fault and the only other error showing now is the cooling fan, anyone any pointers on where to look next. The camshaft sensor with link lead came from DMRGS

If you still get a camshaft position sensor error after putting in a new one, I would suspect the cabling. Or whatever is on the other end of the cable!

Hopefully I'll get the chance to check the fuse box later and I'll report back here with the results, Steve

Problem resolved - turned out fuse three in the engine bay fuse box had failed, swapped the fuse and car started no problems!

Just a thought on this one. Why did the fuse fail? As Arctic said earlier the O2 sensor wires can rub and short on the exhaust insulation. this could cause it to happen again, worth checking the wiring .
More importantly thanks for coming back to let everyone know the problem and outcome
