Problem solved?

[Mike <mike@padd.press.net>]

Got a phonecall late Friday afternoon, the problem with my car is (they 
claim, but not 100% sure), a worn pulley wheel. According to the chief 
techie type dude, the MB engine has 3 sensors that must all trigger at 
the same time for the engine to start. Because my wheel is worn, thus 
loose, the timings do not all coincide, thus the car sometimes starts, 
then sometimes does not. That is because two of the sensors are attached 
to this pulley wheel, the third being somewhere in the distributor. 
Some kind of saftey mechanism that stops your engine running if there is 
any danger of your cambelt/cam/cam pulley wheels breaking?

The same things happend on my friends RR engine.

So I might get my car back tomorrow, no more using one tank of diesel all 
week for 20quid, which would cost 60quid+ in my car to do the same distance.

Anyone selling a cheap diesel run about ;-) ?
