    I'd start by checking the ignition system...
    Start switch (key)
    Starter motor solinoid (Check the trigger wire hasn't come loose on the solinoid itself too, sometime the spade connector becomes loose with age)
    Starter motor
    Main fuse...

    Cost wise? Depends how long it takes...
    At a guess, upwards of $50 + parts if required.
    (It's probably something really simple, but it may be an expensive component failure)
    You local mechanic should be able to sort it out for you.

    yeah my mates thought that was the problem to they tried knocking the starter motor or something.. and they took it out to have a look it was fine. mechanic came and had a look apparently he thinks the timing belt wasnt changed properly by the previous owner and 1 of the pistons broke the sparkplug or something. took it out the sparkplug was completely threaded and gone.
    does any1 know where i can get this fix for cheap.. apparently its about 1grand

    Well if you said that one of your spark plugs were threaded inside then it had to be the person who placed the spark plug in. He/She must of either twist it too tight or loose. Which then caused the pistons to have a unbalance compression, and then led to the engine blowing up. Sorry to say mate your engine is a GONER. There is nothing else you can do, the engine is destroyed cannot rebuild it.
