And presumably it'd cut out again when it got up to temperature?

Tow truck has been ordered - can't imagine he'd be pleased about me not being here when he turns up :D


No. Only next time you restart when hot

If it starts you can call the recovery man. Your call,just helping:Oops:

Really?!? It didn't run when the RAC man tried it!

Car is obviously bored and is now openly mocking me :( View attachment 20530

I saw that today too on mine.... Though I was able to start it to get rid of it... Sorry to hear....

This a common problem , the crank sensor I mean not this ...?

Some incredibly kind people pushed me into a parking space. .......

When the crank sensor failed on EmilysMum's Smart Roadster, I was halfway across the road intending to turn right. I had traffic queueing from both sides as I sat there unable to move the car. A car full of lads offered to push as I tried to explain that it's semi-auto & stuck in gear. Eventually, a combination of turning the engine over & shifting the gear selector, it went into neutral, and was pushed out of the way. ;) ;)

On a positive note, I wonder why they are still being built in the same antiquated way,,, you have this coil with copper wire around an iron core, all potted in a hard plastic case, all materials with different expansion points the could have not potted them right up to the top and coiled the connections to the socket
