Failed crank angle sensor - basically it was no longer turning as it should ! - thus was causing a weird firing sequence - to imagine what the engine sounded like - it was like it being turned over both ways at once - if that makes sense - like a piston slap I suppose.
Luckily no engine damage - now runs a treat.
Dum spiro, spero

that will be me then lol well done ben i told you gary would sort it thats another bet you have lost three in one week now mate :-D
Am I correct in thinking no damage would have occured anyway as the timing wasn`t out only the electrical firing sequence? Anyway glad you got your car back and running good again.
There seems to have been no damage to the internals - however when it was turning over you could hear it stopping itself as it started - really odd noise, luckily all seems fine. I think the timing was non-existant.
Dum spiro, spero
