Been thru everything tonight...all connections, fuses, relays etc and nothing.

Tried to give it a dose of easy start, nothing

Have tried to tow start it and nothing..

One thing I have noticed is that the ignition turns itself off after 3/4 minutes and all lights go out? You then have to turn the key off and on again for all the lights/ignition toncome back on? Seems a little strange to me?

Any other suggestions before I break it/ scrap it/ sell it for spares?

Not something as daft as the contact block of the ignition switch is knackered?

Ignition going off after a few minutes will be the auxillery battery. I'd charge the batteries and try again with easy start/brake cleaner. Failing that, considering a cam sensor fault code, the timing may have jumped.

Have you checked the timing with the cover removed? Or are you reading Sync?

Does it actually fire if given a good squirt of Startyerfecka? If not, there's something serious amiss.

If it has hydrolic lifters (small ones) fitted to the rockers I'd check them just in case
I've had 2 go on me on the same cylinder & would not start no matter wot I did
Then again there's easy start anno you shouldn't but it's worth finding out if it cracks up on it

Have been away for a while and today was the first chance I've had to go back and try things.

In the mean time I managed to lose the key, so I've just had a new key programmed and that's all working but it's now saying powertrain control module

I have just managed to source another which I will collect in the morning.

This bloody thing will run again!!
