"there was a problem with a earth to the ecu and thats why it would not start, so my m8 earthed it up and it started 1st turn of the key"

Got it started today. Went through all the wiring and found a few dodgy wires so soldered them also cleaned the earth to the left of the steering column. Then disconnected the black immob box reconnected it and it started no problem. Hope it helps.
