Do you have any other details to help with a diagnonsis - such as whwt was done to the car or happened to it prior to the car not starting?
If you went to the doctor and merely said to him " I feel ill ", and said nothing else, which is what you've virtually done, he wouldn't be able to help you.

Same symptoms as an immobiliser fault, so also the same for no fuel in the tank, so its only a suggestion.Wilo2106 wrote:Car turns over but won't start
Try other key to diagnose immobiliser fault with keys.

Hello Wilo2106
Were the new parts fitted to try and cure the problem and if so what was the diagnosis that led to the replacements?

If at first you don't succeed, destroy all the evidence and pretend you never tried

This is probably the worst way to diagnose the fault if you don't have a working donor to hand. You have purchase costs, fitting costs and the chance of adding more faults because it can't be tested after fitting.Wilo2106 wrote:Only wat people were it could be this could be that
Diagnose turns over and not starts after doing the basic checks of fuel and keys with lexia system if you have access to one which will read any C3.
The lexia topic is here. Its not an easy thing to get working but very powerful at giving fault codes and system diagnostics.
If not, an OBD2 reader if your car is either a petrol or a diesel after 2005.
