still though there's no point fighting about whats done children :D. better to find a fix for it
so it cranks but its not fireing. can you smell unburnt fuel? or is it not supplying fuel. can you hear the fuel pump working ?
#17: Re: No-Go Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Sun Feb 06, 2011 2:24 pm ---- you know the fuse you took from the other position in your fusebox, have you checked thats still ok and not fused too?
Wasnt the battery disconnected when you started swapping fuses?

I can fix the blown fuse problem (: Just steal one from my mum's lol.
Yeah turns over like it's trying to start just doesn't actually fire up. Can't smell diesel. I don't know what a fuel pump sounds like. It makes the usual sound it makes when getting ready to starting & attempting it. My dad will probably know & he's coming in the morning.

Yeah I've checked every single other fuse on the car & they all look fine.
No it wasn't. Probably a stupid thing to do, but I didn't know you were supposed to?
#20: Re: No-Go Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Sun Feb 06, 2011 2:30 pm ---- Hmm not sure. I had a similar issue when I didnt disconnect the battery. Swapped 2 fuses, then put them back and the lights wouldnt come on so then I disconnected the battery for a while then reconnected. Seemed to sort of the problem. I think try again disconnecting for a while then put back and see what happens.

Right I'll disconnect the battery tomorrow & leave it for about 10 mins then (:
#22: Re: No-Go Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sun Feb 06, 2011 2:35 pm ---- The reason why not disconnecting the battery first may cause problems is that you are always supposed to remove earth/negative first within a circuit, whereas when you yank fuses out you are removing the positive feed first.
Plus if you yanked one out of the BSI while it was still awake, you want to prey you haven't corrupted anything in it.
Disconnect the battery, and remove each fuse one by one and make sure they are all ok.
I know a bust fuse stopped Ant's 180 from starting, as well as a fuse others.

#24: Re: No-Go Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sun Feb 06, 2011 2:40 pm ---- Some fuses are hard to see thru the top due to the thinness of the fuse wire due to the low amps, its just as easy to take the fuse out and check as you can have a proper look then.

But they're just like a plastic block with an open window at the top? so that's the only way to check isn't it?

Some of the fuses are clear on the sides, so you can look that way
Infact most of them are like that on my car

#28: Re: No-Go Author: Twidly, Location: Home - Norfolk, Uni - PrestonPosted: Mon Feb 07, 2011 4:13 am ---- UPDATE:
Dad came round, checked every fuse with a multimeter all fine. Disconnected the battery for around 10 mins, still not starting. Can hear the fuel pump faintly whirring.
Read that if the key in ignition warning still sounds then the immmobiliser is fine, is this correct? If so my immobiliser is ok.
#29: Re: No-Go Author: hobnob48, Posted: Mon Feb 07, 2011 5:39 am ---- Its a long shot but does it have a flywheel sensor? Sounds identical to my mates issue, the flywheel sensor was dirty which stopped his clio from starting, just turned over but no spark. Have a look for one or could be cam sensor on diesel I dont really know too much about 206's yet. Just getting used to mine
