With all the problems you've already had your electrics seem to have been that P***ed about with that much "nightmare" It's a long shot but if you check the VIN probably ends in 666!

I have also been told a match and petrol will get it going.

Have you done a full ECU diagnostic? I'm sure if you plug it into a diagnostic tool and scan every module you'll discover the cause.

I would suspect that a sensor has failed and is stopping the engine from firing up...

in tank fuel pumps are common on these, or even the fuel lines on the wrong way round (usually as a result of the AA/RAC trying to "diagnose" something) and could explain your issues. Lift the back seat bench and check if the pump is priming.

Apparently the fuel is fine as reaching injectors fine, there seem to be a fault in the ECU. So has been sent to be repaired, let you all know as soon as. But currently in Dubai so couldn't care less about the stupid thing😀
