Currently sat in the petrol station. Car wont start. Was running fine until i turned it off. Filled up with fuel. Now wont start. Just turns over.

Cant see a fuse blown

Can hear pump priming

Definately put diesel in!

Yeah thats fine. Had fuel pipe off at filter and its flowing through aswell

Oh yer missed you said its turning over

You tried bumping it yet?

Just tried but dont think i got it moving fast enough lol

How long did was the car running before you got to the petrol station? Could be the battery is old and giving up but enough juice to turn it over but not to fire it.

Job sorted. Camshaft sensor must be dead, unplugged it and she runs, plug in whilst running and it died. Unplugged again and she fired. Revs fine etc

Guess these can run just off the crank sensor. Obviously not advised for long periods of time but its got me home :) as it runs in limp mode

New sensor in the morning (y)
