Vauxhall Omega Problem - SimonM
3.0L elite 98 S reg

The problem is, As soon as the car warms up to 95 degrees the engine cuts out and will not start
until its cooled right down. Please any help asap, its the father in laws car and he's using my polo
until its fixed and im afraid his right foot is going to kill it.

Many thanks Simon

sounds like classic syndrome of crankshaft sensor failure; Get a diagnostic check to confirm this.

Yes I think crankshaft or camshaft sensor failure very common and tends to be temperature related at first and gets worse and worse until permanent.
