   So my saxo been out of action for a bit as the exhaust had come off from the downpipe onwards.
   
   I've been waiting for a new mani for a while and havent fired it up for about 2 weeks. I moved it while the exhaust was broken about 200m - and bought a new battery but now it doesn't fire up.
   
   It turns over but doesn't start the engine. I'm thinking spark plug but could it be anything else because its been sat around a while or could driving it while it had no exhaust broken something?
   
   Cheers.
   Kyle

   I had this
   
   Is the fuel pump priming?
   
   Also check the inertia switch in the engine bay
   
   Mine turned out to be an error code and I cleared it with a laptop
