Brucelee you may be on the money. They suspect that the "jack shaft" has gone. Is this the same as an intermediate shaft you mention?
What is tis item and why does it's failure mean an engine replacement?
They mentioned an engine rebuild as a possibility but my inclination is to press for a new engine since the car has only done 27000kms. and also don't like the idea of explaing an engine rebuild when the time comes to sell!!!
Cheers, and thanks all for input to date.
