Back on the TD5 Defender, this time with a nanocom and I'm still struggling to get it to fire.
It's had a recon gearbox before I got to it. when I put the Nanocom on it was showing zero RPM while cranking.
I discovered the CPS was not plugged in DOH. Multiplug connected and it's now showing 200rpm when cranking.
The fuel pump is running when the ignition is on.
It appears that the injectors aren't firing at all as it doesn't even attempt to fire.
I've cleaned the terminal that runs from the starter to the injector harness, replaced the injector harness, had the ECU checked by ECU Testing. The Nanocom shows no faults standing.

I'm wondering, is it possible to test fire the injectors with the nanocom and if so what's the process?

Also, in order to rule out a faulty starter motor stopping the injectors firing, I've read a couple threads suggesting bumping the vehicle off.
What is the process for this? Is it as straight forward as just ignition on and tow it off and drop the clutch?
I thought I had read that you may need to remove the starter solenoid and turn the ignition to crank as you drop the clutch?

Any thoughts gratefully appreciated!
