Its back to basics then. Is there a spark at the plug and is the fuel getting through to the cylinders.

Yep - although there was some comment about "a smallish spark" - that I did not understand. I have further learnt today that the diagnostic computer is throwing up an "error 99" that indicates an immobiliser fault - but the immobiliser is okay (ECU chip changed and physically disconnected from the fuel pump)

I hope it is a basic thing, btw

Thank you for replying
