Hi
First , may i ask what year , mileage , auto/ manual plse
What voltage do u have on the battery without the engine running and then running plse
Was it ok before u done the timing belt

Apologises all the questions, lol ,

Hi thanks for the reply. It's a 55 plate milage 125000 voltage on battery was just under 12 volts engine stopped when running it was 14.5 it was ok before we started, the engine does crank perfectly I'm in Sheppey in kent. It'll only start after locking doors and unlocking.
It's auto
P. It's auto.
Many thks for the info
First thing I would do is charge ur battery up , needs to be roughly 12.4 volts , standing , low battery can cause all sorts of issues
Do u happen to have a code reader plse ,
When u done the belts did u replace the rear belt and oil pump cover , new tensioners , etc , plse , or just the front belts
So basically it will keep cranking over but not fire, unless u lock and unlock the vehicle
Have u got more than one key plse , are u using the key u normally use
Someone else should also be along but indeed first thing, is to charge ur battery up first , ensure all ur earth and pos cables are tight and nothing left disconnected , ie map sensor, maf by the air filter etc
Have u just don’t the belts , any work inside, ie passenger carpet footwell ???
Plse let us know how I get on
Battery on charge now top it up it did go flat. Only done front end and tensioner not oil pump. No work inside thks. Let you know how we get on in the morning.
Ok thks, indeed plse see how it goes after recharging the battery up over night
