Okay, the first thing to check is this. Switch on the ignition. Now, with the bonnet open, can you hear the sound of a motor running? It should be the fuel pump at the front of the engine.
One thing to query, the engine management light is orange. Are you sure your light is red or is it something else. Check this, its important.
Cheers,
Dave

Impressive MPG!! What is this treatment? Is it a fuel additive?
no its a oil additive called restore it actually fills in the small scratches and such in the barrels and improves your actual pressure in the cylinder so thus improving your mpg this has been tested and as i have said my engine now has 157000 miles on it and still feels as good as new as in acceleration and mpg i tried it out years ago as was told about it and thought here goes another gimmick but was surprised with the improvement after about 800 miles now use it all the time takes two cans first time and then one can there after to treat the engine i dont mind as it saves the wear on the engine and alot cheaper than replacing the worn out parts you can buy it on ebay amust for the 4x4s i think anyway let me know if you try it and what you think cheers
