(T) Wont start

Drove to work fine, and sat at work fine, went to drive home *just the whirr of the starter motor*

Still at work, no buses home, my RAC expired itself over the last year because i used my call outs Got tools so went playing, spark check x4, petrol, yup why wouldnt it start

Awww no way. is that why you tried ringing me, im at work till 8 i can then drive down to banbury to help you if you like or alternatively is anyone at your work a member of a breakdown company with level 3/4+ breakdown as if they are a passenger in your vehicle they can still get a callout on your vehicle even if it aint on their policy

Did you check if the fuel pump is working...

is it whirring really fast as if theres no resistence?
no hills for a bump start?

fuel pump whirs and definately getting petrol out of the injector

whirring at normal speed

Tried to get it going with a few mates and a bump start but it just revved quicker on the starter

Just renewed RAC membership (well made it since jan without lol ) and they're coming out within 2-3 hours hopefully they'll fix it

Is a long wait but should get your car sorted especially with Donny just days away

well i'm hoping he'll be like "why didnt you try this?" and get it working... but we'll see, if not im spending my sat under the bonnet...

and great all lights just went out in the office, its pitch black... guess its time to go sit in car then lol

Uncle kev is off till sunday if you wanna try ringing him

well im back in the office still waiting for RAC to RAC to me?

Tried a battery jump pack thing off vodafone facilities and battery is fine, tried with it just incase and well its fine

bloody cars

ok we checked compression and its fine (whey saves me doing it another time lol yay low comp pistons are fine *dance*) defo sparking fine on 3 bit weaker on 1 of them but def sparking still... defo injecting fuel...

Only thing we can think of is maybe cambelt slipped so timings outor something

Would still start if the timings out or at least turn over

it does turn over but doesnt fire into life

Just a thought: if the belt has broken, will the valve springs return the valves to shut? If so, compression will be fine, spark and fuel I dunno.

All in all, I think a quick investigation of the timing may be in order.

further thought into it,

Compression would be out if timing was out as valves would be open at same time and no compression

Have just run a cloth between the tdc/crank sensor and the belt (tried to get it off to clean it) and it backfired when i tried to start it that time (although its dead now, the tow home with lights on killed batt)

so i think its probably/possibly the TDC sensor, got one coming next day delivery off arc with any luck and will ring a couple of places tomorrow see if i can get hold of one tomorrow at all

edit: sorry forgot to say the belt is there in one piece and doesnt seem to have slipped at all, plus very strange how it could be running 100% fine when left running after drive to work (let turbo circulate oil for a bit) then not work when come back
