Hi,
Well where do I begin? I changed the rubber cones on the mini last night, and in order to do that I moved the ECU slightly forward to i could get my hand to open a nut. Now that everything is back together the mini just wont start!

I have tried checking the ECU connections are in place and they are, the only other electrical components i can think i disrupted was a wire on the passenger side by the tower bolt.

Anyway the engine turns over fine but just wont start! Im guessing I must have distrubed a wire in the ECU or something, or am I missing something else?

Please help!

I dont know if this is relevant, but there is somekind of push switch mounted above the wiper motor with a rubber cover on it, I may have pressed that. Would that have something to do with it? :-
