Now it won't start...

I'm really getting tired of this now.

I picked up my 110 from the garage yesterday after having the adaptor shaft replaced. Started up and drove home fine.

Came to it this morning and it wouldn't start. It turns over fine but makes no attempt to fire. Battery is okay, fuses look fineand it has fuel. The Green Flag chap couldn't find a record of any faults and said fual was reaching the rail. Reseting the ECU (by briefly disconnecting the battery) didn't help.

Could the garage have done something to cause this when refitting the gearbox/transfer box? Perhaps knocked a fuel line/the crank sensor/something else?

My money is on me setting fire to it.

On a more serious note, the key fob opens/shuts the central locking okay, and I tried my spare fob just in case the battery on was low on the main one. I didn't check any fuses for the alarm system though...

Try pressing un-lock just before you actually start it. Worth a try. Chillin In The Backwoods🇬🇧🇺🇸

Running fine now - turns out it was a piece of dirt on the crank sensor.

Funny.

I'd assumed that all the water that leaks in through the doors would have kept things pretty clean...

Funny you should say that Miket, that's been on my mind quite a bit lately.
