          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

                      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.

                            If its not priming have a look at the fuel relays

                              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
