Rover....?

No idea...you have spark, fuel and it will turn...everything I thought you needed for it to start!

My only, uneducated, guess would be an electrical gremlin.

If you have all the ingredients the only thing I can think of is loss of compression.Can you get a compression tester?

We compression tested the engine earlier and all was fine,
the cambelt is fine also the alternator belt is fine,
the timing is perfect,
the engine doesnt turn over any faster than it should so thats fine,
there is petrol in it and the injectors are working fine, we have sprak plug tested with new plugs and theres a good spark so thats fine,

How have you checked the timing?

Sounds like the cam is out by 180 degrees. You'll get spark and compression when tested with a gauge. But the ignition spark will happen on the exhaust stroke so its useless.

Is it the single point or multipoint injection seicento?
