Why rocam engin doesnt start? - 1998 Land Rover Discovery

I'm not sure about the specifics of fitting a B3 1.3L engine in a Rocam 1.3L Bantum. However, I found a performance kit that is designed specifically for the Ford Rocam 1.3L engine. The kit includes a 4-2-1 performance exhaust manifold, a performance camshaft, and a recalibrated computer1. The kit is designed to deliver stunning all-round performance and economy, and it can increase the power output of a 1.3L Ford Ka from 51 kW to 66 kW (90 horsepower) with torque increases from 110 Nm to 122 Nm from as low as 2000 RPM.

If you're looking to fit a B3 1.3L engine in a Rocam 1.3L Bantum, you could consider purchasing the ST90 performance kit for your Bantum 1.3L. The kit is designed to make the same power as a 1.6L Bantum and can be easily installed by any good mechanical workshop.

Alternatively, you could purchase a B3 1.3L engine and have it fitted. However, you will then have to fit a Unichip and have it specially mapped (calibrated) because your 1.3L ECU will not work properly.

I would check the oil pressue and ensure adequat pressure is on the hydraulic cam followers.
Could be just engine wear due to age/lack of maintainance etc.

injector /injector seal problems
check fuel pressure for faulty pressure regulator making the seals/ injectors leak

You need to have the engine control system module scanned for fault codes, that is the first thing you should have done.

Many vehicles are set up to run the radiator(/ac condenser) fan whenever the air conditioning is on. Might this be the case here - is the air conditioning on when on the open road? Just a thought.

The fan relay is your next check & most common problem. Good Luck
