The retract force is entirely down to that coil spring hooked behind the little lever on each brake caliper.
Even refurbished calipers can be stiff, in the extreme.
They MUST return easily to the relaxed position.
If they don't , you have a problem.

Someone in the car pulling the lever to max.
You , bumping the filler lid with your hand.
A prayer might help.
Fix it before closing lid again.

Just in case you missed previous warnings on what NEVER to do.
NEVER , EVER leave a spark plug lead disconnected.
If you do, the high voltage will still be produced and will find its way to earth through the lowly rated transistors in the dissy circuit.
Sometimes, you'll get lucky but mostly not.

Since you suspect fuel pump is not running then concentrate on getting that going
first.
Not an easy item to change so check everything before resorting to replacing it.

One last thing !
Careful around tightening that sump plug, everyone .
The Probe sump is not much thicker than a soup tin and corrosion around the sump plug can cause a leak from what appears like a rust patch.
Overtightening the plug will finish it off.

My thoughts too Bob.
Or something catastrophic happened on the skew gear , in which case it is new engine time.

That has to be stuck for that to happen ! Before doing anything , just check the dissy shaft turns, NOT using starter motor, wheel up, in gear. If it turns then, proceed as follows. I suspect it has tried to be removed ' with a hammer, in the wrong place and direction '. You have to get that piece t...

Does read like a distributor failure.
Be careful when testing for a spark.
NEVER , NEVER , NEVER, . leave a spark plug lead disconnected .
An open lead will kill the transistors in the circuitry in an instant.

When all is up and runniing again , contact Sales@ignitioncarparts.co.uk to either buy parts or send distributor for repair.
As said, many times, always carry a spare with you.

Well done . How a fuse fails can tell you something. If you can see a small 'ball' on each broken end chances are it was running at max capacity for too long / tired. If nothing is left or spattered everywhere then something or somebody shorted the circuit somewhere ...................in which case ...
