Ok Portland bill , we might be getting somewhere, cars idle is very lumpy , i hear that crank sensor can affect this also so the two may be connected , can crank sensor be adjusted with basic tools in the middle of nowhere with a 300 mine trip close on the horizon ? or should I wait until I get home ?

I've not got the Punto workshop manual.
The Panda one shows the sensor mounted in a bracket that is part of the crankcase casting, so not adjustable. Do not attempt to adjust this casting by levering against it, it will probably break off, then you are in deep do-do.

If the sensor is too close, we have to understand why. How has it got closer recently? Is it the sensor, or perhaps the pulley at fault. If it is still working, enjoy your holiday and have a look when you get home.

Thanks for that, but I don't have a Punto! Which is why I don't have the manual.
