Just to point out, cleaning the ISCV doesn't mean you've ruled it out, it could still be buggered.  Is there no fault code test you can do on it, because the management obviously knows there's a fault as it won't let you rev past 4k? As Meilack said though, could be cam sensor. |

yeah it could be ISCV, but i know its a common fault on vectras for the Cam Sensor to go  and know exactly what he means as i was given one for free, but it had this problem  she got scrapped

I've replace a crank sensor on a vectra before, as you say, bit of a pain (does yours have aircon?) but can be done
