Hi all, hope you've all had a good Christmas
Right,down to business lol. The missus was driving her 1.8 53 plate money pit home on Xmas eve and it suddenly lost all power and would'nt rev, she managed to go about 100 yards to a layby on tick over then it stalled. I went out and towed it back home, now it won't fire at all ? Checked throttle cable and all ok , turns fine and cambelt is still lined up, seems to be no fuel or spark , no smell of fuel when turning so tried the bump method and could smell juice (only have short driveway so did'nt have room to see if we could get it to fire by bumping). Plugged in my code reader and showing no codes , EML not on either before it stopped.
Bit stumped so if any suggestions then that would be brill
Thanks in advance and Happy New Year to you all.
