I'm gonna go get some new plugs then, see if that helps,

How can four spark plugs all die at once?! Don't waste your money.

Too be honest, looking at them they are all completely fecked. I've replaced them and a little more life was happening, it really wants to start but won't. A mechanic I know thinks it could be moisture in the dizzy, so is there anyway for me to take this away, something I can do before buying a new one?

Shady check to make sure one of your spark plugs isnt loose,i know this sounds obsurd BUT this happened to my mk3 a while ago and as i wiggled the Ht leads no2 plug was pretty much totally undone!
Just changed them all so made sure they were all nice and tight, defo not that.

WD40 repels the moisture.

You could get a dizzy + dizzy cap from a scrappy for real cheap. Also try replacing the plug leads, if they look too ugly  :sick:
