Usuually the ENGINE light goes on for about 5 seconds, when the fuel pump is engaging.
Check these:
  1. Check IF YOU GOT PETROL some times you can forget that lol
  2. Check your OIL (some cars have enough sensors to stop the car)
  3. Run a simple ECU check there are many methods of doing this yourself search DIY for this
  4. Try getting a big FLAT HEAD SCREW DRIVER and tapping the STARTER motor whilst someone is trying to start the car (often it can be an earthing issue). The starter motor sits below the distributor along the left hand side of the engine (WHEN YOUR LOOKING AT THE ENGINE) its like a cylinder? usually .. blackish jst hit a few things with the flat head sumfns bound to happen
  5. Get someone to check wires WHILST trying to turn the key see if anyfin moves or has power goin thru (test light)
  6. If all else fails msut be SOME KIND of FUSE or ECU error.
I'll have a go with some of your suggestions tomorrow mate and report back unless you want to pop over and have a gander?
You fix the problem I'll throw in a free photoshoot of your car =)
Either way will report back and let you guys know.
