darren do you have a mulitimeter ? if so check the positive side of the coil with the ignition turned on, you should be reading batt voltage (12v) or slightly above. if not the imobiliser may well be active.
other things to check are the distributor cap carbon brush to ensure its not burnt a way (common) rotor arm for tracking to earth (again common).
Obvious but sometimes over looked check the fuse box for blown fuses.
