Hello all,
Just got in after a breakdown and a speedy recovery from the good old AA and was wondering if anyone could help before I get stuck in working on the car this week.
I have a 1968 2000 Automatic. This morning as I set off there would be the occasional crunching noise. It would intermittently crunch when changing gear, in neutral/park and when letting off the throttle. Suddenly, while on the A1 there was lots of crunching, and a sudden loss of drive. I could rev the car as if in neutral with the car making a lot of loud crunching noise. There was no drive in any gear. The engine still ran fine. I came to a stop on a verge, tried to start the car but the starter motor would not turn the engine. The motor itself would turn but the engine would not.
Any thoughts on what the culprit might be would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Tom
