if its firing over then fuel pump is prob the thing, happened to me on my 94 uk model, or relay, or even something like loose wire, need get back seat out and have a check under panel. or check fuel feed pipe see if its actually sending= NO SMOKING!! and have a cup to hand - put it back in tank lol well price of v power these days.

Turns over fine, its not starter motor, will have a look for any loose wires in the morning. could it be something to do with the cam sensor? do these fail?
