use powerstart see if that gets it booming. if it still doesnt start, could be head gasket damage like mine.

or if u have an immobiliser it could have failed, thats another problem i had too. But id put my money on the head gasket. No pressure in the system.

yeah it hasn't got an immobiliser. might be the head gasket? but then i'd have water in the oil surely? and there isn't any.

mmm, i dunno, i've run out of ideas now. may have to be a garage job if it was the head gasket then it would have gone whilst driving along, and that would have been noticable. like i said it hasn't moved since sunday or been started either so it couldn't have gone from standing still, could it?

ok i've just done the ecu code fault test, and this is what it says:
13-oxygen sensor, no change in voltage/open circuit
44-oxygen sensor, air/fuel mixture to lean.
so i topped up with petrol, and still the same. what can it be??

Evening again!!
Forgive me if I'm wrong but from the sound of those ECU codes.At a guess it seems like some kind of Air/Fuel Starvation.
