Right guys, I have a problem! My fcuking car wont start. Drove it on mon fine parked it up, went to start it on fri, wont start. It was turning over but just not fireing up. So i called out roadside assistance, and they tried in-vane and told me my spark plugs need replacing. Done that, still wont start. So then i spoke to a zoner (Nelly) who suggested i take the fuel relay of the 2.5 lump i have and swap which i did and then the car did not even turn over, the whole car power just died and then come back after i disconnected the batt then re-connected the battery. So then i went and got another ignition coil and fitted that. Still no joy but by this point my battery is starting to die. So i am gonna charge it up and see if it will start. Its a strange one, any suggestions would be greatly apprieciated. All i need to do is get it started so that i can drive the car on to my driveway which is on a up-hill slowp (sp), then start stripping it ready for the 2.5 lump to go in. Idealy i wanted to get this swap done before aces cafe on the 30th. Cheers guys in advance

The fuel pump is ok i think because the smell of fuel is quite over-whelming when i have tried to start it. I am gonna charge up the batt properly and then see what happens. thanx anywayz
