Thanks everyone, I've got someone coming out next week to have a look at it - I'm hoping its a nice simple fix

I've had it 10 years now, but I've always had someone helping me with the basics i.e. brakes, but I've never had it refuse to start before other than when the battery has died and needed replacing so this has frustrated me immensely.

Thank you Saint, looks like I'm calling the mobile mechanic out, unless I can find some diagnostic software / machine somewhere

Thank you, I will have a look at the crank sensor tomorrow, will it be easy to identify if its broken? I don't have a diagnostic machine, so will need to get someone out

that had me confused

Hi, Sorry I'm new to this so learning as I go along, I bought a BeCM sync mate and followed the instructions and it flashed green exactly as it was supposed to, with no error messages on the dashboard to show that the engine had been disabled. thanks

Hi All, I have a beautiful P38 4.0 V8 Petrol that just won't start, It has been stood for quite a while, so I've charged the battery, it will turn over but just won't fire, working through the forum, I've tried various suggestions, I've reset the BECM, re-coded the EKA both seem to have worked...
