you need to try running it with fuel down the plug hole and then decide what course to take from there.

there are only 2 sensors that would fail and prevent the engine running- crank position sensor, (which must work as there is a spark)
tip-over sensor would kill the spark and injectors and fuel pump (2 of which we know work)

Are you certain there is fuel in the tank?

are you getting the 'CHEC' display when you try and start it?

Definitely fuel in the tank. Will try the fuel thing ASAP. No CHEC display. Checked the plugs again, still dry.

HUZAAR! You fail! Killswitch was checked and is not active!

It lives! I changed the oil, filled petrol to the brim, checked all the fuses and some connections, charged battery 100%, checked plugs again, turned killswtich off (NOT!). Was about to give up trying then- BOOM I'M AN SV, YOU CAN'T STOP ME brum brum brum.

Still don't know what the big problem was. Might not start tomorrow morn for all I know. I will order a new battery tonight (it's had the same one for 115,000 miles I believe), and hereby extend another grateful applause to the kind altruists this wonder website of mystery and mechanical misery has to offer. Much love brethren, I'll surely be back soon.
