Not Starting

I was under the impression that the pump and cam are locked by bolts when timing this engine, rather than any marks (except the crank) and that checking after turning two turns is also by setting the crank mark and re-inserting the bolts.

Hi, yes your right there is 2 bolts which lock it off, which i done and double checked after the 2 turns, so i know i have the timing right, i'm so puzzled at why this wont start ???????

When you said you'd checked for diesel did you mean at the injectors?

assuming it sounds right (compression wise) then give it a quick spray of easy start or wd40, if it fires and then stops then you know there is a fuel problem.

Good idea. I had a fault with the solenoid immobiliser and found out through processes of elimination by squirting easy start to fire it up. Had to drill out the security bolts to get to solenoid to bypass the immobiliser.

there is some immobiliser fault whereby you take the outer cover off and clean the contacts or resolder them or something like that, so someone was telling me.
