Well not done much on this. For those of you that don't know Sarah got the car about 8 years ago. After 2 years of owning it failed its mot on rust near a seat belt fixing. All welding was soon done, and booked it in for another Mot, it wouldn't start that morning. So pushed it back in the garage, since then it has been rolled out for a new garage to be built, then rolled back in.
A few months ago I tried to start it. Would turn over, so either fuel or spark, fuel was old do popped in a couple of litres of fresh. There is a schrader valve on the fuel rails. No fuel. Checked fuel relay, all looked good.
Yesterday added 5 litres of fresh fuel. Tried to start again, still nothing at the shrader valve. So next is to investigate the fuel pump.
Two options to check the pump, drop the axle then drop the tank. Or cut an access hatch in the trunk. On the TA I went the access hatch route, and will do the same again. The risk of bolts snapping on the tank straps or other bolts is quite high.
