S1 wont start
fitted my fuel pump and then primed it for a while.
started the car but all it does is turn over go to start then just carry on turning over.
i released a fuel inj pipe icase of air, but the car still does the same.
do i need to get a tow and bump the car??
its not been started for 2 weeks whilst i sorted the pump.
cheers peeps

if ya got spark (and correct firing order) fuel and compression then yeah a tow start could be worth ago

You shouldn't really need to bump it unless the battery is weak.
Something is still a miss if it won't start

Found the problem.
the small outlet pipe is leaking, the new banjoo is quite big and looks to have caused a split.
will have to order a new pipe.
