Another broken down 1.8.t
Mine is currently residing in Tescos carpark after shopping yesterday I reversed out of the parking bay and the engine cut out (thought I may have stalled it) tried to resart but it will just turn over with no attempt to fire up. I can hear the pump initialise but the check engine warning light is illuminated now. Torque is showing no fault codes. I have left it with the battery disconnected and will pop back later with a few tools to check the in tank filter ( no, it does not have a clip fitted). Is it obvious looking at the filter if it's detached or is it a strip down job? cheers.

I wouldn't expect to see the 'check engine' light after fuel filter separation. It could be the crankshaft sensor or it's wiring which Trikey has recently advised is susceptible to heat damage due to its routing, details are here. Simon

Been back to the car with my laptop and toaf will not connect to any of the units and now the battery has died so going back later to rescue the battery and bring it home for a full nights charge.Tried to find the crankshaft sensor and couldn't see it anywhere so if anyone can point me to where I should be looking I would be most grateful, google has not been much help with this.Thanks.

If you need to get at the crankshaft sensor, Mr Haynes advises as follows: The crankshaft position sensor is mounted at the front of the transmission bellhousing (at the left hand end of the engine) To improve access, apply the handbrake then jack up the LH front wheel, support on axle stands Hope this helps.

Been back with a full battery and tried cranking again but still no luck, video of rev counter when cranking below. I suppose this rules out the crank sensor as there is slight movement.All locked up now so looks like its a recovery to my local garage on Monday.

The crankshaft sensor is OK. I'd suggest checking the fuel filter if you haven't already done so. The check engine warning could simply indicate a misfire due to a poor fuel supply and shouldn't overide a physical check. If you don't have the orange clip in place, fit one anyway. What you describe is Classic FFS, historically the No1 cause of sudden non-starting in later petrol models.
