Hi Dave, yes! Vauxhall Tech should have mentioned that!! Perhaps he didn't know!! I still think your problem is on the crankshaft toothed wheel/keyways. I had one a few years ago with the threaded portion of the crankshaft broken off. It remained in the almost correct position because the crank bolt held it all together, but the crank had turned a few degrees before it had all jammed together again. Sorry, difficult to explain and was even harder to find. I eventually found the break by completely removing the crank toothed wheel, whereupon part of the crankshaft came with it.Sorry if I am wrong, but worth a look? Regards, Gwyn
