sounds like a flat battery if your starter wont even click over

jump start it with another car and if it turns over it is your battery, injectors etc wont stop it cranking lol, once you have it at least turning over but not starting get a consult cable and make sure all sensors are working.

Lol ive had numerous encounters with flat batteries, and I wish this issue were only that.

The battery is new and fully charged. Most of the time it is attached to a battery charger while we are testing.

As I had said the starter motor didnt "feel" like it was clicking, but after taking off the cam gear cover, you can see the gears turning over.

So clearly the solenoid in the starter is doing what it's supposed to

Thanks for the suggestion though

Well we have discovered the problem - we think...

The locater for the CAS sensor - has sheared off from the engine side.

(there is a half circle locator in teh shaft of the CAS - which matches a half circle locator on the engine side.)

until this is fixed and the timing reset we cant be sure of anything else with the car. which suck. but hopefully after this has been fixed it will at least start again

Thanks everyone for your help!

Hey Guys,

ohk, so due to time restrictions i'm trying to line someone else up to actually fix this problem.

The issue now is i need a new part to replace the broken one.

I am trawling for service/workshop manuals to find what part i need, but struggling a litte.

So the CAS has a spline with a fitting joint inside according to the diagram i have. It is the fitting joint on the engine side which has broken.

Does anyone know what this is called? or what exact part in the engine it is attached to?

any help would be really awesome!

The camshaft, you will need an entire replacement if you've sheared that off, absolutely no idea how that happens, did the CAS seize?

Thanks Rolls

not 100% sure how it actually happened.

the CAS may have seized, but all things considered i would have expected that to cause the locator on the CAS side to break. either way I will be looking into it all again with the new information in mind.

now to the for sale forum i go
