hi there,i am not your usual contact member,i am by trade a H.G.V teck however i am stuck with this ! i did a deal for this marea that seemedf o/k at the time however when i got it home(max 50mph) i took to putting it right!! new cam belt,then i startedf it on a gallon can of proper derv,it fired up with a bit of black smoke but cleared and reved propley,then i changed the fuel filter(full of red and S++T) the air filter was in the same condition....now the motor refuses to fire up..............ANY IDEAS......oh by the way i was only given 1 blue key with this motor.........any help would be very much appreciated.......thanks..SCOTT


Hi Scott,

It sounds like it may have been standing for a while allowing water in the fuel to cause rust/corrosion. This may have blocked the injectors.

It might help to clean the injectors and bleed the low and high pressure fuel lines. Get back if this doesn't work.

The lack of a red key should only affect you if you need to reprogram the ECU, an unlikely occurance. You can get a spare blue key cloned from somewhere like Timpsons for about £30.

If you have no objections I will post this on the forum, it will attract further help and be of use to our other members.

Good luck and let us know how you get on.

hi there,no problem with you posting the link on the furum but you could add that i have since found that the timing belt tensioner has developed an inter-mittent fault i/e rattling ang throwing the timing out slightly,so will replace that and let you know how i get on from there,thanks again for you reply.......SCOTT
