bit more info would help.....btw happy burfday Dopey :5bparty:
 
You have a pump in the tank, this could be fubar, i don't know how petrols on Landys work, but you must have a feed pipe some place, pull it out get someone to turn the engine and petrol should come poring out, if it isn't then your not getting it pumped up and there lays your problem, like i say if it was a diesel i would know where it come from or to, if you have (like on the diesel) pipes going in to the injectors, you can pull them off and get someone to turn the engine and see if the fuel comes out
 
You'll need to get someone close to you to do it ...Great Harwood, Lancs??? J the Range is off to Emmotts in Colne soon he'll be passin by Whizz him a PM he may be able to help yer out
 
A bit more info is needed really. You say you have fuel and a spark - what have you done to check these?

Have you taken the plugs out? were they wet? what colour were they - black and sooty or a nice light brown colour?

Has the EFI warning light come on?

Try a quick ECU reset - two ways of doing this, one is disconnect battery for a few seconds then reconnect, the other is pull the multi plug off the ECU then put it back on.

Have you tried advancing up your ignition timing to get it to fire up?
 
tested for spark by using a spare plug against the manifold. athe efi light didnt come on and have tryed the reset and that didnt help and i havent messes with the timing
 
Well i got it going but it took a lot of cranking to get it to start then it runs fine then you leave it and its back to square one ???
