Agreed.

Already established car has spark and that timing is correct (leads and coils in correct order). So suggest follow up on fuel.

Yet to confirm fuel pressure at rail. Did you try bridging rollover switch?

And did you test for crank signal (rpm) with diagnostic tool (or taco?) to confirm crank sensor circuit integrity, as suggested by sierra? No crank signal would also mean no injector pulse (I think) so no start.

Okie Dokes!
I fixed the knackered terminal and cleared the fault.
Thanks for coming trout good work.
But anyway the only thing I found this morning was that the icarsoft reader said that the Inertia switch is 'set' does that mean its on?

Also the LED on the dash is normal and extinguished as you crank.
When trout came round the hazards went on for a while (think that was when we jumped the inertia)
Currently the downhill descent alarm sounds on ignition which is brand new.

For the HDC maybe you accidentally pushed the button check that.... as about the inertia switch i dont know what that "set" means but if it was tripped the hazards should have been on.... read the rpm while cranking that's relevant

Well it looks that by fixing the positive connections on the battery has fixed the Main power source error that showed last time.
Do the hazard lights stay on still? As Sierra said this could be indicative that the inertia switch may be faulty.

To rule out the inertia switch unplug it and bridge the pins in the plug(with battery disconnected)

We did bridge it out But we still had the battery connected, Doing it your way could sort this out hopefully

If it triggered the hazards unlock once with the fob
