Back at post #3 I said


What I meant was don't assume anything. You can wind up with tunnel vision focussing on the "big thing" and overlook what the issue actually is. The seller may have not mentioned something, as he was no doubt frustrated as well.

In post #7 you said the Nano reported Injectors 2,3,5 open circuit (current). In #15 you said Nanocom says no faults in ecu. Does that mean you cleared the faults after cleaning the red plug etc and the fault hasn't returned? Or is the injector fault still recorded?

You also said that the seller replaced the FPR. At the beginning my immediate thought was CPS. To me that is the most likely cause of a TD5 refusing to even kick, and its proximity to the FPR could easily mean that the wiring to the CPS could have been disturbed. So, I'll ask again, is the MIL lit? That's the "check engine light".

PS. Is this an early car? A 10P? If so I believe I may have a spare CPS and ECU you could try for elimination purposes if all else fails.... I'm not all that far from you. Could take me a minute to find them

Al I can add is good luck.
Tins,
Thanks for the offer, yes, its a 10p - 2000 model. I did clear the faults after cleaning all the oil up, I assume cranking only would cause them to reappear, but they haven't. The seller has been in the engine bay as the lifting lug has gone walkabout, but the CPS wiring seems undisturbed. I understand the issue finding the parts, when my garage was at its worst, it took 2 hours to find my Tirfor winch. A friend has offered the loan of an upmarket diagnostic, the Nanocom is not easy to work with, but I would love to borrow those 2 things- I have spare injector copper rings & O rings, so will try them first.
Cheers, David
No probs. Shoot me a PM and I'll look them out. Yeah, Nanocom isn't the most user friendly interface, but it's so powerfull I put up with that.

Garage? What's a garage?
