![]() Does anyone know of any Rover 75 diesel specialists in Normandie France.
Here on holiday and the old girl broke down, engine just stopped and would not start. Thankfully I have European breakdown insurance but that is turning into a bit of a nightmare. There seems to be a lack of understanding of how (our) cars work. I think it may be either the cam or crankshaft sensors and I have told the breakdown company that but they seem to think it's a fuel issue - I don't believe it is. They changed the in tank fuel pump but the issue continues. It did start for a while but then conked out. I believe that when these sensors cool down there is the possibility of the engine starting. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. |

![]() TOAF and a modified KKL 409 cable seems the obvious way forward.
Why not let the car tell you what the problem is, if it can ? Last edited by MarkS; 19th March 2022 at 20:32.. |

![]() Does it being a BMW engine not help? Must be some BMW knowledge in France.

![]() If the engine cut out then that won't be due to the cam sensor, as the ECM only references the cam sensor signal when starting the engine, and then ignores it until the next start sequence.
