You are dead right.

It has just started but i'm not going to drive it as at least it' reasonably safe and is off the road where it is.

Cheers

Classic symptom of a failed crank sensor ...... my Omega did the same a couple of years ago, as did her Smart earlier this year.  ;)

Breakdown driver has no diagnostic equipment or parts. Just a low loader.

He did however diagnose a c/shaft sensor and advised geniune replacement if I intend to keep the car.

Thanks for all your time and advice this evening gents.

Local dealer finally located a sensor at teatime.

Is there any of you good people out there reasonably local to me that could fit it for me please ?

I don't have jack, stands etc i'm afraid as I'm useless at any sort of DIY.

Thanks for reading.
