Is the fuel pump working ? Have you disconnected the crank or cam position switches ?

 

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE EARTH WIRE CONNECTED TO MOTOR I DID THE SAME.
HOPE THIS IS YA PROBLEM
ALL BEST SLAB

 

no wires where removed tho, ive been told try the plugs but that seams a mission and a half

 

If you have been working around the front of the engine check you havent unclipped on purpose or by accident the grey connector. Its under the alternator if i am right. This is the crank sensor. If thats out it will just turn over like you said without firing.

 

I'll check that soon, any other ideas, please feel free to add them

 

Also try cam sensor seing as you have changed cam seals. A brown plug around the top left of the cam cover.

 

sounds like the crank sensor to me mate

 

Sounds like something has been disconnected - start in the main area you were working on, and work your way outwards, checking every wire is connected to something and there are no stray ones.

Also, remove any connecters and check the wires are firmly connected to the connecting block, then plug them back in as a wire could have been pulled out of the back of one, but not actually be visible as loose.

If the car worked fine before, and now doesn't, something has changed, and unless its something major you have broken, it is more likely to be something that has just been pulled loose while working around the engine ( a lot of the wiring can be pretty tight against parts of the engine, so could quite easily be pulled loose accidentally when moving something out of the way ).
