Yeah it's the only thing you can turn it over with if there is no starter. Turning a diesel over by hand has never been one of the easiest things to do.:D:D

Was the starter damaged? If a DMF lets go it can cause a lot of damage, if it's that and it hasn't cracked the bell housing it could certainly jam the engine IMO and probably bust the crank:eek:

If the spiral pins went you would just lose the clutch.
 
Pat with due respect to you and your efforts. From the questions you are asking it appears you lack a certain amount of expertise. Maybe it would be a good idea if you know anybody with more knowledge, to get them to look at your car for you. :):)
 
Hey lads i will admit it am nomechanic,but hey **** it i,ll give it a go ,you need to learn somehow,,never say never,dont cost much to ask a few question to help me along,ive not beenbeaten yet fixing cars even though iam no mechanic.cheers pat.
 
I'm on the edge of my seat here dying to know the result is. I do hope you got a big spanner on the crankshaft bolt whilst turning
 
So the crank turns twice clockwise then twice anti-clockwise??

I can't remember which way round it is but I think the crank turns twice for each single turn of the camshaft (or is it the other way round??)

If you can only turn the crank in full rotations twice and the camshaft only turns once, I would suggest a valve or similar is blocking its path....as it stops when it trys to move said valve....

I could be way off, but worth a shot.
 
Mmm your not giving us much info like did you take the rocker cover off you said the chain was ok you have twochains the more details you can give the better we can understand.
