Won't start now!🙈
I've had it 18 years and all was running ok. Only carried out the work for the sake of reliability, etc.
I've just replaced the following:
Fuel pump (Bosch)
Fuel lines- complete set ( Crazy quiffs)
Fuel accumulator (Bosch)
Fuel filler neck
All rubber fuel hoses
It started first time, when I initially completed the work.
However, it now will not start. Also, the new pump is making a very odd gurgling type sound! 🙈 Best I can do on the description! I've changed 3 pumps on this car during my ownership. None of them sounded like this.
I'm hoping that a few of you have some ideas. I'm ok at replacing parts, like for like. But my tech and diagnosis skills are limited.
Cheers.

It may also be attributed to a flaky Gas Cap.

This is a 'not starting problem' after the fitting of new parts.

Just because parts are new does not always mean they work… I've had a few duff new parts before……
Are you getting fuel to the engine?
Are you getting a spark?
