Well I've got a fuel filter sitting here now, so try it anyways for sake of a few quid would order another new one if I got a new pump also to do it right. Genuinely happy about this, was worried engine was off timing or damaged.

OK great news. Got the car started it takes 20 seconds or so to start but as soon as it runs for maybe 30 seconds it dies slowly. It also dies instantly if you try to press the throttle. When it runs it sounds perfect like a k series should so it's on time etc. I've got a fresh fuel...

Yes mate all still good. Plenty of stuff on the 75 zt forum and face book "75 ZT owners ireland"

Can't wait to see the end result. Fantastic work.

Appreciate help folks. Hasn't had a chance to look at her yet.

Was told when getting the car it was a CRANK sensor had failed, and sure enough I found a old CRANK sensor in the car removed so that was my train of thought to be honest. Sorry it should have been CRANK sensor not CAM sensor in my above post.

Brand new cam sensor went into her today. No joy, the tacho picked up once when cranking and it was far closer to starting than before. Next up is fuel filter, spark plugs, leads and distributor cap. If it's not that then I will start looking at timing belts etc.

Got a photo of the location and how to trip it back?

IMO you should contact Z and F tuning. Engine enhancements by zandf-tuning for MG Rover enthusiasts They did a lot of the original MGR ecu coding, and have a good knowledge of the 1.8t, including a remap on stock internals taking it to 200bhp. IMO they would be able to sort something...

OK folks hope you can help me with this one, I've been searching the forum here also as I go along. Have a 2000 1.8 xi 5 door saloon and she's a none starter. Bought in an effort to restore and enjoy. Here's the issues so far. Won't start New fully charged correct battery fitted...

Hello mate, just bought a 1.8 freelander. Good to speak to another NI owner.

Just acquired a none starting 1.8 freelander. Hoping to use the forum to get it on the road!
