Many thanks - tried the wriggle test.

kept the battery charger hooked up

car started. ran it for 5 mins, took it for a short drive, ran well, switched off. tried to restart in 5 mins - no luck

i forgot to add in my previous message that engine does crank, but does not start.

there is no movement in the tacho when engine cranks(may be an important clue?)

points to something that maybe picks up a bit of condensation(i think). once car used regularly, not a problem but leave car for a few weeks and first start up( after a week) is normally difficult. I'll check the crank position sensor connection

regards
