   right basically ive done my headgasket wooo
   all back together but it turns over just wont fire up hmmm
   i remember the last day i used the car the battery kept going flat and this key light kept popping up on dashboard but the car would still start fine but obv not when the bat was flat had to bump start and stuff.
   if anyone might know what ive done please help there is fuel getting to the pipe you disconnect and theres pressure there fuel pump priming etc but i know theres a connector i have that doesnt seem to go anywere but on the air duct bit it plugs onto that just seemed odd like mayb it shud be sumwere.

   The key light is the immoboliser, so thats where your problem could be.

    right upon some further investigation and testing it seems this just clips on my air ducting and does i have no idea what. but the stupid reason it wudnt start haha nobody laugh. is because i forgot to put the plug in the back of th inlet manifold . oops i forgot it was even there drop engine in cant see it forget it i guess but all is good she started but after 30 secs to min started smoking looks like it could possibly be oil on the manifold??? thats about warm up time it takes it to get hot and thats when it does it and the bottom has some oil so ill clean that up and hopefully it will be good. oh and the thermostat casing is pissing water ewverywere haha oops
