Disco 3 won't start after fuel filter change!?

Hello,

I changed my fuel filter today and now the car wont start.

I'm confident the connection are correct as my pipers were really stiff so didn't have kuchen play and they held their location I also had a glimpse to make sure they're in the right place.

I put fuel injector cleaner into the filter prior to reattaching it as I saw someone do this and is meant to improve engine economy.

I've bled it on the valve on the engine and liquid flow out when the cars on and it doesn't seem to be bubbly or gassy.

What should I try next?

Thanks,
Sol

Keep cycling the ign key "on" for three 20 sec periods then try a start.

Edit: most of the injector cleaner you put into the filter will be returned to the tank. Better to just add it to the fuel. yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

I've tried that a lot I've resorted to humongous some Holts easy start but the battery died so I'm charging it now, I'll get back to you thanks.

Poor battery state will be a significant factor, once its up to voltage try again but use only small sips of SYB! yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

Just used Holt each start, engine kicked in like a artic trying to start shook off its rocker then sounded fine.

tldr; Holts Easy Start worked
