thanks,
It's not the battery, I have tried another one and its turning over as fast as it usually does.
Plugs are very sooty, but haven't checked for a spark yet, ran out of daylight tonight.
I can't hear the fuel pump prime when I turn the ignition on but there is a buzz that continues for about a second after I stop turning the ignition key is that the pump? oh, and the exhaust smells strongly of fuel.
Hopefully it's just flooded, I've took out the plugs and cleaned them up, I will put them back in tomorrow and try again.
My brother is a mechanic and is coming down on saturday to have a look, I have a feeling it may have spiked the immobiliser because I don't understand how the car can be running absolutley fine one evening and then nothing the next morning.
Could the turbo timer be a possibility?
Igniter pack?
Anyone know of a good auto electrician in Cumbria (longshot, I know!)?
