Sorry: "DO you have a fault ready for this vehicle?" should read: "Do you have a fault reader for this vehicle?" - spoil chuckers again!

Just to add to what the others have already said, the first thing to check is that all the earths are properly grounded, both on the engine and body work pertaining to the engine loom. DO you have a fault ready for this vehicle? It might give you a clue as to where to start? It may be that the garage that undertook your repair did just that and quite reasonably came up with the crank sensor (whose loss instantly kills the engine whilst the loss of most other sensors will affect the mixture setting rather than actually prevent the engine from running). I would pay particular attention to the wiring for the crank sensor and the passage of the wiring from the engine to the vehicle - I had the door wiring fracture on my H4, which then "spiked" the ECU when the wires brushed together and permanently turned on one injector. I was lucky a) to find it almost immediately as the electric mirrors also stopped working and b) a hard reset (battery off) sorted out the ECU. When I took apart the wiring loom from the donor car for my Beauford, I was appalled at the standard of joining wires within the loom and some of the insulation. I can only hope that a good pair of eyes plus a multi meter will solve your problem. Hamish
