V6 won't start - not the usual
So trying to bring my zt-t to life again.
I had parked it up after mot expired and due to being laid off left her until recently. Now she cranks and cranks with no life. So checked the 15 amp under bonnet etc to be sure all good. I thought of fuel filter seperating being an 02..... ....but looks like she's got the earlier vdo style fuel filter. Now I'm thinking immobiliser here. But I'm curious to see if there's anything else obvious I've missed? Can't think straight atm.

Had similar with mine but it was a 2.5. Mechanic was baffled. Someone suggested a battery reset, I did it, car started first time. Battery disconnected overnight and charged fully. Refitted. One turn of the key later, engine roared. Probably a coincidence but doesn't cost anything so worth a try.

Sounds like I struck lucky for once then. I'll stick to physiology and anatomy and leave the mechanical engineering to you |

Yet the mystery remains! I would be interested to know, when Colin finally gets it started, what (if any) fault codes were registered. As I said in my post, this happened to me once and I'm none the wiser why!

Well reset did nothing and still no fuel on cranking. Checked pump relay also, no change. So think I'm at t4 stage now.
