Patience is a virtue. Don't kill the new engine for the sake of waiting a couple of days!

Nice new radiator arrived today. £36 ebay special. fits well...



So after fitting that, filling with oil and coolant, double checking all is plugged in and fitted tight it was time to crank by hand first (to get oil moving about the engine) then onto the first try by key:



As you can hear its not running well and there was a worrying knocking noise. Loads of smoke from exhaust so theres unburnt fuel getting dumped in there somehow.

Cleared the air and another go:



No better so swapped out the coil packs and a third go:



Still no good. Had enough for today (been a long hot day), so shower time and think about it a bit more. Next move is to pull the plugs out and see which one isnt sparking, then try to see why :unsure:

That doesn't sound healthy. It's a new engine though so there can't be too much seriously wrong, bad plug, bad connector? I'm sure something obvious will present itself on closer inspection.

Soo... checked out all the plugs and coil packs one at a time and they are all working.

Code reader (should have thought of that first!). Shows code P0011:



Going to try and swap the crank sensor tomorrow. If not that then its probably the trigger wheel, so engine back out time :angry:

Also have oil leaking from this thingy:



Which is something to do with the VVT apparently. Have spares and its not too bad to get to thankfully (easier than the crank sensor at least!)

Its ALIVE!



The relief is amazing :-)

The vvt thingy on the front swapped and that cleared the code P0011. Tried swapping the crank and cam sensors, still not working. Went to town and bought a compression tester and timing light, both showed ok. Last thing to try was the fuel therefore. I had fitted the larger injectors and after swapping back to the standard 1.3 ones its all happy days.

Quick test drive around the village and its defo got a load more torque and power. The safari tuff clutch is good as well, a bit snappier but ideal.
