   when you turn your ignition on you should hear your fuel pump priming.. a little whirring noise for a second or 2
   
   Is your ECU Locked? Immobiliser okay?

   I cant hear the fuel pump, how do u know if ECU is locked? I got the engine loom and the ecu altogether. I got a little black box and like a thing that goes round the barrel but i cant find anywhere to plug them in. hope u can make sense of that lol

   pics of said little black box? Do you mean the trim that goes arround the steering surround and ignition barrel? If not you mean your immobiliser, the car won't get any fuel unless the immobiliser is operating correctly. Do you know what you are doing?!

   Which one is it mate? Immob or steering column trim?
   Get a few pics of what you've got and that, you'll probably find the problem is the immobiliser isnt hooked up properly, any lights on the dash? the little orange key by any chance?

    nah not normal mate! Probably better off bypassing the keypad if you can, probably cause more trouble than its worth
