Can you hear the fuel pump ticking, by the fuel tank.
Could also be glowplug/flame sensor
Manual for it,

Strip down and service with photos, boat installation but informative,

Surely if the fuel pump wasn't working the car doesn't start!

The FBH has its own fuel pump thats fitted by the fuel tank.

The fbh can be bit problematic after a summer on non-use.

Mine often needs the fuse pulled and a forced start a few times before it is fully awakened from it's six months or so of slumber.

I can force mine to start by means of the timer, but you can use a freeze spray on the sensor or the old paper-clip doge to earth pin 3 on the connector.

You could also fit a simple dash-switch to the the system, giving you complete control over it.

A good dose of injector cleaner in the tank will help to clean the fbh at the same time.

Lots of info on other forums for other cars which use the TD4 engine by the way.

I pulled and checked the 20A fuse (5) in the under bonnet fusebox, it's intact so it went back in.

Where abouts are the sensor and connector? I hope I don't have to pull the front end off!

It's cold here its just not firing up it blow cold air out of its pipe but does not fire up

rhodie · Oct 27, 2012

If I remove the fuse it just shut off and shows a power fault

rhodie · Oct 27, 2012

This of course happened after I had new fuel pipes and a in tank sender unit

rhodie · Oct 27, 2012

Oh and my thermostat has failed would that stop it working?

Has the FBH fuel pump been reconnected.

Here's a recent link to the location of the sensor:

Here's a link to the Rover & MGZT guys who discuss this subject a lot - check out Harry's post 3 - he's a very knowledgable guy on fbhs and loads of other M47R stuff:

Problems with FBH - The 75 and ZT Owners Club Forums

It contains a link to his 'how to' thread on testing & servicing the Webast Thermo-Top fbh

Enjoy!
