hello see if anyone can help me with this.
so i was driving my bmw e46 320d 2000 136bhp on the motorway today,as i acelerated to overtake a car my car acelerated and engine turned off,all the lights on dash where on but the car died.i pulled over and turned off ignition,then turned key to start car and it sounded like the angine was turning.
so i popped the hood and checked if belt had snaped and it wasnt,i asked my friend to turn key again while i watched to see if everything was turning,everything turned fine at the exception of the actual sound it came across when it turned the key was like it was turning faster than usual but no start,evrything turning faster but no start,so i opened the oil lid and checked if my timing chain was turning and it also was,the feeling is that something slipped and its not catching,dunno if it makes sense.
thanx in advance for any help.
regards
andre
