    Freelander 1.8L V early model not starting

    I've replaced the rotor arm with a brand new one, still no luck. This is a video with the distributor, everything looks absolutely fine to me:

    There is spark, but not clear bright, just a tiny one :) I've purchased another rotor arm, arriving tomorrow morning at my local ECP, will try with that as well. The sparks are brand new, the only bit left in ignition will be the distributor and leads, although they look ok, they're only 2...

    Will probably buy a new one from EuroCarPars tomorrow.

    Also gave the TPS a good clean, no luck. Perhaps I need to take the injectors out and inspect the spray pattern?

    Gave the rotor arm a good clean, brushed with a fine wire brush and cleaned all the gunk. Looks like in the attached photo. Inspected the sense pipe that goes into ECU, can't see any cracks on it. Still no luck, won't start :(

    It's orange, brand new from EuroCarParts, hasn't been painted :) OK, will inspect the rotor arm in the morning, also the timing belt and the sense pipe as suggested, thank you guys!

    Will inspect the rotor arm in the morning, can you pinpoint the exact location please? The car has been driven on a daily basis, one day last week just stalled on the road and didn't want to start anymore, AA guy brought it home.

    Should I get the crankshaft sensor too? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111691287664

    Yes, spark / spark holes were smelling like fuel. I doubt it's the injectors. I shall get the throttle position sensor and the rotor arm on Monday, see of that makes a change. Any other suggestions?

    Is this the one? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271741276376

    There's no fuel gauge, how do I check the fuel pressure and what should it be at? Where is the fuel filter located? Leads are in the correct sequence, the car worked fine for 2 months since I've changed them. Rotor arm? Where is it located, can I inspect it with engine in situ?

    New spark plugs in, no change... Running out of ideas, anyone? :)

    Here's the video, cranking, not starting. I can hear the fuel pump priming. Could be fuel filter? I'm going to try changing the spark plugs just in case, but I doubt. Throttle position sensor maybe? Looks ok in close inspection.

    Replaced the battery, sorry, forgot to mention. Thinking I should replace the sparks again, there was a bit of oil on them, also found a bit of oil in the throttle body. Doing some work on my GT-R now, will get a video with the Freelander in a minute, trying to start it.

    Hi guys, We have an old Freelander that wont start anymore. Breakdown guy said MAP sensor and coolant temp sensor are faulty. Replaced the coolant sensor, there is no MAP sensor on this engine. The head gasket has been replaced few years back, probably 3 years now, full engine rebuilt. Checked...
