Kv6 camshaft sensor change

Hello again ,

The garage who fitted my KV6 new camshaft sensor, used a non Rover part.
Car seems to run fine once started.
The car engine turns over now, several turns before starting.and cranking sound slow and laboured.
It has a new battery fitted All battery connections have been checked, all seem ok,Starter motor ok too.
Petrol filter was sorted and clip fitted couple years back.
I have the proper KV6 sensor now,From Rimmers. with link lead.

I was Wondering if it was that non rover sensor not reading camshaft position right causing the problems.
With the old Sensor it started very quickly, Never hardly heard Starter Motor.Until it got hot,Then it would not start till it cooled down again

Any Help be most Welcome
Many Thanks
John
