What would cause a turbo diesel engine to just die at 70 mph? Electrics all seem fine. Belts intact ...Engine not turning over.

If the oil drains suddenly an engine can seize almost instantly.

no compression (if he is correct) could be cam belt or chain
does the engine turn on the key ?

No. Nothing at all. Not even a click. The chain is fine apparently. Plenty of oil in it. Mystery ...

I have tried to setting up using loadsa of different methods but i am just struggling to get it to even get to the set up point. I have the brand new home hub version so i dont know if this is part of the issue :(

Sounds like a dead chromecast to me. I had kinda the same problem, and ended up doing a hard reset http://www.droid-life.com/2013/07/31/how-to-factory-reset-a-chromecast/ worked ever since.

to be honest I hate silver cars. I guess would be nice to put him back to standard but not yet.
I know Julian get texting Damian he dragging his bloody feet over the MINI and not putting it up for sale we need that gone to pay for it all. He had back and it's driving better than ever has and I don't think he wants to sell it! Well tough he going.

Why not. Not sure what the classes are. And not being in any way rich it will need to remain a mere idea.
Also fancy going to Boneville speedweek too.

I was looking at getting one of those Unibond Aero 360 things they're advertising on the telly. My front door gets the worst of it and really steams up. Reviews look good and it's quite cheap.
