Nope, not turning over. Any ideas for why/how to fix?

Could be an ign barrel fault.

Belt hasnt snapped has it? Take oil cap off and look at the cam when someone cranks it.

Think you can see the cam from the oil cap? Isnt there a plastic guard over the cam?

Sorted, turned out that the battery was almost dead. Charged up and all is well now!
Thanks for the help anyway guys  :smiley:
I'll get a Haynes manual ASAP to learn more about the engine so I won't have to make silly threads like this in future  :wink:

What year is it? Not sure if it would be an imobiliser issue on a 1.4, as im not sure if they have them. Dont think they do.

Just for future reference Mr Mikester, the 1.4's do indeed have an immobiliser.
