The Clio Died

[Mark_]

I haven't posted on here for a while now I really need to update my thread (BADLY) - plug. So it's a shame that I have to post on here with ANOTHER problem!

So as the title says my car died on the way home today. The engine just cut so I called out the AA who had to eventually tow me home. It turns over but the engine isn't starting. The AA man reckons it is the crank shaft sensor that has gone...wondered if anyone had any thoughts?

Thanks very much!!

Crank sensor would be my first thoughts! Happend to me twice before, have you got compression?

Is that what the issue was both times? Is this a simple/cheap fix?

Piece of cake to change. Mine did it not that long ago, just didn't want to start. Battery voltage fine. Did all sorts of checks. Only thing left was the crank shaft sensor. Picked up a new one for £18 at GSF. Touch wood hasn't failed yet.

Easy to fit, remove air box and airfeed. Literally sits above the gear box. Fixed with 10mm bolts. 10 minutes
