    Had to dump it at a gas station and leave it to get to work without trying anythingout,other than someone trying to start it with a battery power pack/booster type thing. No click or anything,turn the key to the third position and nothing happens. I'll try a few things later.
    Thanks guys

    Ok, so a mate went and looked at the car and was going to recover it back home for me. He tried to start the car and she went first time and run ok.So he then turns the car off and tries several times again and the car fires up fine each time. After a 20 min run or so, the car wont start each time unless its left to sit ( and cool down ? ). So it seems like something won't let it even crank over and fire up when hot. Any ideas ?

    Thanks
