   Does the fuel pump prime on the 2nd click? It it is then you will hear a whirling sound by the back seats on the 2nd click
   
   Failing that then as above try the red button in the corner of the engine, then check all your fuses in the engine and dash, and the earths in the engine, which are mostly around the battery area

   I changed all of the sensors etc etc, in the end I plugged a laptop in with an ebay cod reader, cleared the codes and it started
