Rover 75 1800 petrol 2003, non start
Hi all.This is my first post so hi to you all.Hope my explanation is clear?. So my son has a Rover 75 1800 petrol on a 2003 plate. Wednesday morning it wouldnt start, so advise by a friend he put new starter and battery on,still no start. He told me about this on saturday afternoon, i then went and had a look. Here is what i found ignition on all dash lights as should be,batery voltage checked at 12.60 v, turn key to start and nothing no cranking. Ithen checked voltage to starter there was none. I then put + wire direct to starter,started up immediately ran for bout 2 seconds cut out. I did this few mor times and same thing run 2 seconds cuts out.still no start from key.Any ideas anybody ?
Thanks in advance |

Could be fuel filter separation, common issue. Lift out the rear seat, under the passenger side is a cover for the fuel tank and filter. Remove the cover and check if the filter has separated slightly. Twist back together and try again. I'm on my phone so can't link to all the threads. I'm sure someone will be along 😎

Sounds like a damaged EWS 3 immobiliser to me, does the car have a sunroof?

Ok then, perhaps the transponder in the key has a data fault, if you have a spare key, see if that works

Thanks Graham. The immobiliser is inhibiting starter motor operation. It will also prevent fuelling which explains why, when you by-passed the immobiliser, the engine ran for only 2 seconds.
The next stage is to determine the reason. Simon
