Nissan primastar turns over but wont start

Nwalstow · Sep 17, 2021

Could anyone give me their opinion on wether this is is worth fixing as 2 mechanics say the van is basically “dead” it’s a 2011 2.L.

Turned the van off for 2 minutes tried to start and it was turning over just wouldn’t fire up? This is what the RAC diagnosis says

thanks

Hi Nwalstow and Welcome

Not good news I'm afraid.
Lost compression and has cam crank correlation faults is techspeak for a possible problem with the timing belt.
Maybe it has only slipped a tooth or three and the condition is not serious. Maybe the belt is broken and valves have been damaged.
Before deciding on the wisdom of repair I would get the timing belt checked out. The cost of a repair can only be estimated once the head is off if the belt has gone. Many would counsel a replacement engine at that stage or scrapping.
