I had the water temp problem, to get round it I held throttle quarter open and then turned key , started fine trouble was when stopping at lights had to keep revs up or it stalled. above problem is it actually cranking over? u have fuel , and oil is fine?. need a diagnostic to read a code perhaps.. hope u get it started.

Are the injectors being switched, where are you getting fuel to?

Does the cambelt look ok? If it just died while driving then something has failed, plugs/leads etc don't tend to have 4 fail at exactly the same time...

I`ll second this too... Had same problem.. Turned out to be faulty ECU Temp Sensor... Dash board Temp was fine, but, Apexi Hand Controller was reading -42, car would just crank and not turn over... Then when ECU got a correct Temp, it would start.... The Temp Sensor is a cheap part to buy, but a total pain in the backside to replace....
