Default Camshaft sensor error.

Hi Guys

Just had to have the big 8 recovered to the local garage as (According to the RAC diagnostics) the Camshaft sensor is US and without the input the engine thinks its not moving so wont start..

What i am looking at here? The car was faultless for the last few thousand miles so im hoping it really is just the sensor.

Any advice most welcome!

I don't know about the 8's sensor, but I've had that go on a number of cars over the years and it's usually an easy fix (for a garage) with no ill effects.
