Hi all, apologies that this is my first post and it's one requesting help!
I seem to have a similar problem.
pcked up a 1996 P plate 2.5V6 CDX Auto Saloon yesterday and it drove fine, turned it off a few times through the day and drove about 50 miles in total. Anyway, about tea time I pulled up at home and turned the car off. I then tried to restart it as I changed my mind and decided to nip to the shop, and it wouldn't start... and has not since! It sounds as though there's no fuel getting through as it attempts to fire but doesn't. I've put a can of fuel in to be sure it wasn't a faulty fuel gauge and still nothing.
I've looked at a few on-line diagnosises and it seems that anything to do with non-starting is attributed to either the crank sensor or the immobiliser.
I got 2 fobs with the car and one worked fine, in desparation I took out the battery and tried it in the other fob, the fobs work fine!
As for the cranks sensor, I would have expected some kind of clue as to it's faulty-ness earlier in the day.
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks

Plus I'm pretty sure it's been changed at some point in the past as there's something in the history from 5 years ago
