Anyhow I now have the car in Farnborough Hampshire. When I picked it up in Ireland the chap that apparently was fixing it left it with no ecu whatsoever. I ordered one for this engine from Ebay and fitted it today. The ignition comes on and the lights come on and go off on the dash however it is back to cranking and not firing.
The rev counter rises slowly when cranking the car so I believe it is not a cam position sensor issue.
I hear the under bonnet pump and sounds like previous ones in previous 75’s and ZT’s I’ve had.
My Autel diagnostic reader won’t read anything on the car.
When I bought the replacement ecu it came with the ecu itself (340 number), ews3 unit, what I believe is the immobiliser unit and the matching fob.
So far I have only replaced the ecu.
Suggestions are most welcome all.

If you are replacing a kit you need to replace the entire kit (ecu, ews and transponder) Best option if you’ve got a kit is to fit it and go to a T4 guy with the car and all the original gear and they can program a replacement Virginised ecu so that everything matches the car. Once you swap the lot and get it started it you fancy the drive up to Birmingham I can program a Virginised ecu with my T4 for you.
By all means I could travel down to yourself but it would be cheaper to fit the kit and then travel up yourself
. I could program the ecu if you sent me just the original EWS but I’d much rather have it all in the far as I can then check over everything else too.
