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
