well...only ever done 1 engine swap and not on anything as sophisticated as an omega ( 1.4 rover) and i swapped over the ecu wthout even thinking.

Though thinking about it now it really shouldnt make a difference...so scrap that idea...when you say no power i guess its not even cranking ( no dash lights?) tried a jump start to firstly rule out the battery?

Is it on the right way round....are the 0V cables connected to the chassis (just below rear left of battery tray) and engine (between the power steering pump and aircon pump on V6)

Hi all sorted the car i took the engine out of had the battery the other way round so
it had a shorter earth lead and would reach, so i`ve changed the earth lead and now
its all ok, and its running :y

It feels good DIY

Thanks Pete
