Ford transit turn key, but won't start

Postby KHill » Thu Nov 22, 2018 9:43 pm

We recently purchase this ford transit Van,transit 300 SWB, 75HP, 1998cc, 2003. it's been working fine and start first time each time since we purchase it 3 month ago. Then two weeks ago today, while we're away from home, stop at the tesco garaged to fill up some diesel fuel, then the van won't start. Stirring wheel on locked . We call the RAC , he finally came after 2 hours, but he seems do not want to know what's wrong with the Van so he towed us back home. And now Van is sitting in our drive ever since. We have a local young mechanics ,on it, so far they still failed to have it started, just this evening they put in a second starter motor on it. And still not working. Please can somebody give us some light of what is wrong with it? We never had any ford Vehicle in our life time. So do not know anything about ford. Thank you

A Good start would be to tell us what van you have?

Year, engine etc

There has been a lot of transits produced over the last 50 years!

A code read might come in handy.
