(Not something you should do often!)

At this point verify the timing as well, I think the diesel is as for the PSA 2 litre petrol and has a flywheel pinning hole to its rear. Be careful not to wind the motor backwards if you miss the timing point - go around twice more.

No, turns over but wont start.

Regarding the timing, it was fine before i started working on the intake manifold. i can't see how the intake manifold and injector removable can offset the timing. If it is a timing chain issue, then it's an amazing coincidence a bad chain causing to mess up the timing on the next start after. But hey..... those odds of such a coincidence to happen to me is likely. I am that cursed.

By the way, if timing was off, surely i would get a number of codes. But i will check it out anyway and thanks for your tips.
