c180 classic 2ltr starting problems

Got a c180 classic been playing up about a week ago it stalled thought nothing of it untill i went to restart and it has eml light on.. got it code read and it said crank position sensor. waiting till payday to get the part but 3 days ago went to start it to come home from a meal and it wouldnt start had to get it recovered back home. anyway i got the crank position sensor but while doing that i broke a breather elbow that comes from the servo. since that its struggled to start and being really lumpy. beleive that this issue is down to this elbow thats broke. but woke up today and looked out window theres the drivers idicator on solid and the washer bottle pump emptying its self. pump wont stop had to unplug it.. any ideas behind any of these issues...

cheers

issue 1 - car stalled the other day
i code read it and it came up with crank position sensor
failed completly and would not start had to be recovered.
since replaced part but broke a vacuum line at the same time so cant see if i have fixed it yet as i still have a broken vacuum line.

but today it starts playing up while locked up.... the washer pump started going off and the drivers side indicator at the front came on solid not flashing... i presume this is a earth problem any one any ideas

hopefully this makes sense
