One other thing.....

When you went to restart the car.....remember that the fuel system will need to completely 'repressurise'/charge or whatever you call it. When I removed the pump and changed the filter on my daughters TD4 it took the car quite some time to restart. It may have ran a bit lumpy to start with IIRC and it definitely konked out a few times before it ran. Just something else to think about.

Hello, thank you, but I flattened the battery trying to start it, then jumped it from my 2.4D van, plus early on I checked that there was diesel in the return flow pipe and there was loads. There is plenty of diesel, but the injectors fire once each as I first turn the key, then nothing, nothing , nothing, nothing.......
 
It feels as though the injectors have been out forever now, but when I was trying to start it, it did fire on each cylinder as the injectors fired, filling me with hope but then nothing, nothing.........
 
I know next to nothing about these engines so my opinion can be ignored with impunity. But, I have been following the thread and the thing that strikes me is the comment in post 5 about the fuel sensors and if they don't see fuel the injectors won't spray. If it was me, I would be looking very hard at that particular issue.

Thank you for that. It has stopped raining here briefly so I can actually have a look at a few things, put the last of it back together and decide if it is better to buy a specialist scanner of or take it too the specialist with a scanner.

I am pretty sure it must be something simple but the sagacity of being lost without the live data is unquestionable..

A decent diagnostic device should show a missing signal. I'm assuming it's a facelift FL1, which is OBD2 compliant.
I have a proper scan tool. But for quick checks I tend to use the Torque App and a cheap Bluetooth OBD2 dongle. This will detect a whole hist of faults and give live data, straight to my Droid.

I have one too and they're not very intuitive. Good kit once you work them out but I'd love to have a better method of data logging than pointing a camera at it. :confused:

That's why I won't have anything Apple.
Apple isn't open source like a Droid. Droids aren't tethered to what the manufacturer thinks the owner wants to do with there device. It's like buying a car, only for the manufacturer to stop you from driving it on the roads it doesn't want you to drive it. ;)

on the other hand, if you do get on a road, you know it isnt full of potholes.
 
Possibly not relevant but you said you mixed up the injectors at some point. I had a 2002 mondeo which would require the injectors to be programmed to a particular cylinder or would not run......just a thought

It may be pothole free, but a road that doesn't take you to where you want to go, isn't much use. ;)

Apple devices ARE very restrictive, but on the other hand, I’ve wasted so much time sitting in front of a PC/laptop waiting for stupid updates, clearing out bloatware/addons and other sh1te. Not needing antivirus software is a plus.

I use an iPad mainly, and occasionally have a go with people’s android tablets. They’re slow and clunky in comparison and the touch screens are rubbish.

Apple OS is targeted by hackers and has been for years. Owners believe the hype that AOS is immune to attack, which it isn't. Hacker's play on this lax attitude, making them very vulnerable.

As for Droid tablets. Yes many non premium Droid tabs are pants. Pay an equivalent price for Droid tab as you would for an Ipad and it'll outperform the Ipad in every way. ;)
My GS7 is miles better than the I phone 6, which was Apple's equivalent as the time it was released. It'll do everything a normal PC does, and has a screen resolution that makes the I phone 6 seem decidedly old hat. Oh and it's water proof too.

There are good and bad about both IOS and premium Droid devices. Only Droid doesn't say "sorry the manufacturer doesn't want you do that". ;)
