Cranking - but not starting.

Thanks dollar. I’ll give it a go!

Just to provide a brief update.

The car is running once again.

It seems it did run out of fuel and looks to have dragged a little water through to the pump. a light tap with a Brummagem Screwdriver and she's away again. (It's OK I was born in Birmingham, still regard it as home and am very fond/protective of the place!) So in the end, it really wasn't complicated at all - I'm just annoyed that given my roots, I didn't try this first!

Now I need to resolve the non working rear fog lights and number plate lights and it can get an MOT and I can then get to enjoy it a bit.

So thanks for all your help, and suggestions folks. It has been appreciated.

Great news, glad you got to the bottom of it - such a shame you didn't invent the ICE/Hydrogen engine we all crave which runs on just water...

My SL has what I will call an unreliable fuel gauge - I have run out twice which I consider terrible awareness, now I reset the trip counter and fill up religiously after ~200 miles so it will never happen again.

Thanks! I fear JCB are covering the Hydrogen base though. And Cummings…
