i wouldnt move it untill the garage have had a look.

could be loads of things - they were the last to touch it and should cover any recoverys.

Might be a dodgy earth mate. After i did my box i had all sorts of probs. The car wouldnt start. Got someone to come and look and the ****er started :? . It was fine for a few days and then it started again. I took as many earths off as i could, sanded the surfaces and put them back on. Been fine since.

STARTER MOTOR - put it in 1st with ign off & roll it to & forth to free it off

PLIP KEY - will need programming on an XR25 computer

BAD EARTH - check all connections to starter / chassis earths etc

TIMING OUT - says it all.... possibly done a valve in ?? get it checked

TDC SENSOR - faulty / aligned in the correct position

PLIP RECIEVER - in the sunroof - is it faulty - is it accepting the frequency transmission from your plip and knocking your immobiliser off

FUELLING - is there fuel there

PLUGS - have you checked theres a spark

COIL - is it sparking the plugs

That would be very dangerous if the timing is out !!!!

Not really if he's drove it home^^^. The damage will already be done if its the timing.

usually if the timiing is initially out you can either hear a strange idle, or undue tapping noise.
usual tests.. look at spk plugs for firing, ignition block.. head rebuild is only £90 up near me.
