Ok I have just double and triple checked the timing, the marks are bang on..not even a tooth out. It seems to have stopped back firing now though, I cleared the spark plug leads so maybe one wasnt firing in sync?
It still wont start though, I can turn it with a ratchet no problem, nothings knocking inside. When I try to crank it, it will turn over 2-3 times and just die on power. I have had jump leads on the battery for the last half an hour and still not enough power. When it dies though, it will always try and crank again but never turn fully over more than 2-3 times so the powers there in the battery.
I really dont know what else it can be....
Heads skimmed and we definately have compression.
Rods cant be bent as it turns over as you would expect with a rachet.
Injectors are working.
Spark leads in the right order.
Definately timed up right.
Battery has power (through jump leads)
Plenty of Petrol in the car.
I thought starter motor may be sticking but it doesnt sound like it, I gave it a couple of love taps with the hammer
but still the little sh!t refuses to fire up...
Times ticking now, my mum needs the car as of this Monday for work and I dont fancy letting her loose in my BMW
.
Any mechanics in Chesterfield, Derbyshire s40 fancy doing any weekend work let me know as I need to get it in to a garage over the weekend asap!
Thankyou for all you suggestions as to what it could be but we still havent managed to solve it
Kind Regards
Chris
