If fuel not getting through try the fuel cut_off switch under the bonnet

My flexi snapped completely in half and still ran so it ain't that?
Is it trying to start or just ticking?
Check compression and spark on all 4

Its turning but not firing!

Could be Immobiliser fault but it wunt let you see a spark would it.



An after thought if there's a hole in the exhaust it may affect the lambda sensor so the ecu won't let the engine run

When you re-connect the battery it will wind down the back window and you will have to re-calibrate your remote by pressing the lock button 5 times.

Check all earths, battery connections and fuses.

Get the exhaust fixed anyway.

Good luck
