Could be many things need more info on what's happening and been checked . Could be fuel related , need to check pressure or change fuel filter . Try easy start in intake .

hi thanks for reply car was serviced 6 week ago an was driving fine,(as i said in first post going well all day 1 day an then no starting the next) however it does sound as if its a fuel prob but i have tryed the good old easy start also loosend injector pipe closest to timing belt was getting fuel to that 1 but strang thing is that after cranking a time or 2 we loose the fuel gauges an light on display on unit on middle of dash.

Load test your battery .May be too much of a draw on starter when cranking . Would try changing fuel filter and priming when replacing in case you are possibly drawing air or s**t in fuel system

Can you hear the fuel pump buzz for a second or two when switching on ignition as it should do ? does sound like a fuel problem
