Welcome to the Maestro and Montego Owners Club. Why not post in the Welcome & Feedback forum and introduce yourself?
Well were back on the road again , Mot passed with a cv boot and hand brake cable.
Just trying to get some miles in make sure it running well , a bit lumpy at the moment.
Glad it's passed and back on the road. You may want to put some injection cleaner in it to get all the stale fuel out

Thanks Jeff , put injector cleaner in the tank. Tank was drained and filled .So hopefully just needs to run.
Going to use it it as much as possible before the weather turns.
Thanks Alan.
Just a quick update, been stuck in hospital and at home sick at the moment.
So done very little but the car is starting to run better not misfiring . Might have a battery drain problem not sure yet ,so when feeling up to it ,.will look properly in to it.
Dose not help that got a too small a battery on it
Put a decent battery on it and use it as much as you can

Another quick update , been in and out of hospital for last 4 months, so not got much done on maestro .
But did go round this aft to start it up and lay it up for a month or so , started up on jump pack and ran well ,
will to do coolant this week
If weather holds up going to 're grease central locking motors. And get some small jobs done on car.
Just drove the Maestro up for mot this week.
Passed no problems.
But forgot just how torquey the O series engine is and how light it feels.
Hopefully get some more use with it over next 12months. Desperately needs a clean though just drove it straight to garage for mot dust as well. Will get some descent pictures once cleaned.

Been starting the maestro up regularly , but last week decided not to starting again.
Going to put fast check on it tomorrow . As pumps not priming , when going will need a suspension bush on front then mot.
Managed to get a nos rear quarter panel ( with Austin Rover sticker on it ), for future use . But need to get it started fist.
Other than that much as before.
Thanks Alan.

Thanks Jeff,
Checked the relays , multi plug at side of washer bottle, exchanged the relays and tried different ECU.
Getting power to ECU , 12v to relays checked the earth to relays , ECU .
Pump will run with 12v to it , was new last year anyway. Going to check pump earth , try fast check see what comes back with. If still no joy get a auto electrician to look at the car.
What to use it this year, plus looking to get another garage hopefully to get another car. So don't want to have the maestro sat in garage.

Did you just swop the relays over as that won't work? They're also not the same as a normal relay but you probably know that
