Hi mate, I hope everything was ok...

You were parked up with an RAC van in front and a Ford Fiesta behind you, just on the road near Morrisons that leads up to the dual carriageway. I was the guy walking past in waterproofs and a high-vis jacket.

Ah cr4p mate - bad news :-( Don't be embarrassed, sometimes these things happen. I hope you get it fixed soon if you haven't already.

Not fixed yet hopefully won't be long, trying to get hold of a descent gearbox :/ with as few miles as possible... she wont start.. tires to start but as shes cranking she cuts out after about 6 seconds.... so I'm not sure if its damaged the crank sensor when the gearbox has gone Any idea as to why you think it wouldn't start?

Sadly I am the wrong person to ask mate - I would be guessing at best. Might be worth sticking a post up in the relevant section on here whilst trying to get someone reputable to take a look at it. I hope you can get it fixed soon and without hitting the wallet too hard. Good luck fella.
