Million dollar question at the moment. I'm in the same boat, my car has now died. Hoping its something simple like a fuel pump. :cry:

custumboy - Try the ECU relay. They are only about 8-10 quid from dealership and if it aint that then you aint wasted much.

The coil is up on the bulkhead. I did all the same things as you and the coil cost me about 30quid I think.

But try the relay first.

mr.wong - for you try the fuel injection relay.

With most of the other relays - under the dash with the fuses.
The relays are up above the fuses, bit hard to see - best if you unscrew a small panel.
