Car wasn't starting - P0340 - Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit (Bank 1 or single sensor)

I went to drive my PX2 this morning, hadn't touched for a few days, and It wouldn't start. Starter motor tried and tried but it just wouldn't get going.
Left for work in my other car.
When I got home, I tried to start again but still no go. Grabbed Forscan laptop and checked codes, all the usual codes I expect are there but the two new ones were:
U0415 - Invalid Data Received from Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Control Module A
This one I think is fine, I picked up my car after getting some all terrains fitted and I had a ABS fault light come up for about 10 seconds while driving to work from tyre shop. It went away shortly after and wasn't an issue since. So I assume maybe the car was a little freaked out by the new tyres and it was a bit wet.
P0340 - Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit (Bank 1 or single sensor)
After I cleared the codes to see what ones came back, the car currently started. Not sure if this was a coincidence or result of me clearing the codes. I turned off and on a few times and car kept starting like normal. Went for a drive around the block, got the engine up to temp, and everything was fine. Tried off and on a few more times when I got home, still working as normal.
I did have a rough start last week, but only happened once and just assumed it was due to being cold and that fact that 4 of the glow plugs are showing codes.
Anything I need to worry about that camshaft code? Was me clearing the codes what caused the car to be happy and start again?
Thank you in advance.
