Hi Mark, Seems strange to say engine starts but then cuts out. Not sure if it could do this if the timing chain has snapped, I would seek a second opinion. Someone with more knowlege than me should be able to make sense of this. Good luck.

Cheers

Engine wont star if chain snapped,if your car has been in the garage for 6 months there is something fishy going on,get your car home and get a second opinion,

Vey best of luck

Is you car a petrol or diesel?
