So i got the Tuscan out of the garage last week, it coughed and spluttered a bit, but managed to get it out OK, did some work polishing the rear window, like I planned, but when I got back in to start it again to put it back in the garage, it turned over, but did not catch.
In the end I rolled it back in the garage, where it currently sites feeling very sorry for itself !!
I am working on the idea that the immobiliser is not at fault as I heard the fuel punp prime, but found some info about the coil pack fuse that should have been uprated to a 20A fuse rather than the original 15A version.
(i can't get to the bl@@dy fuses with the car int he garage, so need to push it out again somehow !)
Could it also be the fuel pump relay playing up (even though i heard it prime)? - If so is there anything special about the relays ? or are they off the shelf items?
Or any other ideas what may be the problem?!
Any thoughts reatfully recieved
Cheers
Allan

I would not only check but replace the Coil Fuse no 2 at the front of the long row., 2nd one back 20A
I had exactly the same problems on the RNR at Falkirk.
Cranking really strongly with plenty fuel but Non Starter, fuse replaced twice coil replaced when got home with AA still no joy.
As a final last resort changed the fuse again!.
Believe it or not it fired immediately. All fuses checked out good with multimeter.
I now carry a generous selection of fuses at all times.
It could only have been the grip on the blades of the fuse that was the fault.
