Hello all sorry if this is posted in the wrong area
I have a problem with my 4.6 HSE 2 weeks ago it was running fine doing about 250 miles a day then I had a problem the suspension lights came on then went out run for about half a mile then every light on the dash came on engine cut out the car restarted and drove 400m to the car park.
after 30 min car started and ran fine for 200m then stopped eventual restarting so called RAC
car drove onto recovery truck
test showed Crank sensor failure car. NOW THE FUN BIT
car taken to garage who in there wisdom insisted that the cam position sensor needed to be changed £214.00
then they said it had a misfire and changed the plug leads £68.00
after 2 days they said still had a misfire and were looking at the wiring
as I can see pound notes flying out of my wallet I instructed them I wanted the car back
when it came back the battery was dead, jump started it eventually and it struggles to reach 500 rpm and that is with blipping the accelerator
any ideas I was wondering if they had removed and refitted the crank sensor and not fitted the spacer (the car is an auto) if that may be the problem.
after spending £400+ on the car only to get it back not working at I am a little P@£$ed off with the garage car is a 1996
any ideas many thanks
