Won't run.........Help

deadagain · Nov 13, 2013

Well had my Freelander for 3 years now, with not a spot of trouble.

Came out from work last night and she won't start.

Engine just keeps turning over, where as before it would crank about once and spring into life.

She got fuel (in the tank!) but shows no signs of firing........

Need help as can't be stranded.

Can the ECU be downloaded for fault codes or Any advice need!!!!

Shes a 2003 1.8 petrol, no water issues, 73000 on the clock.

Help!!!!!!!!

Can you hear the fuel pump prime when the key is turned?

Maybe the fuel filter on the pump is blocked - supposed to be checked every 60,000 miles or every 5 years.

Try your other ignition key. Sometimes the little transducer in it can fail and this means it won't start. Worth a try, good luck.

Thanks for all the advice.

Turns out to have been a sticky fuel pump. Gave the top on tank a good belt and she spring to life on the first turn.

Don't think problems solved as was the same this morning, but the belt worked again.

Looks like a new pumps needed. Not too impressed at the prices for one on the net!! Anyone tried a retro fit third party install?

I'm in North Wales by the way.
