Engine mounts on... Wasted spark fitted and L8 and chip.. Went to fire and it sprung a leak from the banjo fitting on the fuel filter... And once fixed wouldn't start...

Well the little fuel leak was caused because when FORD fitted the fuel cradle on they thought it was ok to put one copper washer on the banjo fittings...
Also it's bubbled my newly powder coated fuel cradle so tomorrow I've got to strip it and take to be re-done.....
And still haven't got it started.....

Yes mate it works bang on... I'm going to charge the battery fully as I was trying to start with booster pack on... I had a slight fuel leak so I've fixed that so when ecu gets back with a bit of luck it might start.
