cranking not starting

[David]

hi! the car as described above is cranking and would not start, i could not hear the pump priming. the car already has the orange clip on the fuel filter. i have checked fuses and swapped relays but still no joy.

Is that the V8 you are talking about, which you bought over a year ago? If so, are you trying to start on year-old+ fuel, it may have become waxy and have caused fuel feed blockage(s). Risky using very old fuel anyway. Injectors can become blocked or, if it does start, even self-destruct causing untold problems ('Harrygsi' managed to kill his engine by hydrolocking probably because of a failed injector "hose-piping").

Anyway since you are now an owner, you can go 'green' as a full member, and get lots more handy information here; just get on to Tim for a questionnaire.
