Loupdy Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) Hi All, My car died whilst i was driving, luckily it was as i turned into my destination and was going a slowish speed. Order of events: No warning lights or indication of it about to happen. The engine cut off mid-driving I slowed to a stop on the side of the road Attempted to start engine, the ignition works, but engine doesnt come on. Looked over engine, oil/coolant and fuel levels as normal, lights/radio etc normal. (thats about my knowledge of car troubleshooting...) Called RAC, unable to fix, but said the revs weren't showing on the dash He suggested it is the Crankshaft sensor - but unable to check this because of it being under the starter motor. Towed me home, and i cant get a mobile mechanic, so awaiting another option. Any other potential ideas of what it could be?? Edit: Car, X reg 1.0 Petrol Edited October 15, 2020 by Loupdy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loupdy Posted November 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 As no one responded, it was the Crankshaft sensor. 70 quid fix Its Located underneath the Start motor and access is from under the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
