I feel really stupid about this,

I tried starting it again this morning and nothing, so I had a 5 litre petrol can full of petrol and put it in the miggy fuel tank and it started first time, the strange thing was the fuel gauge was only just touching the red and the range said 50 miles so I didn't think it needed fuel, but anyway the cars now running

Classic!
Guilty of that myself on a few occasions

Agreed, feel a T*T for asking for help on the forum for something like that

still worth doing pedal trick? Just to be sure. Constant flashing (more than 10 flashes) means no codes. 10 flashes then 3, 3, 5 flashes means crank sensor. My 3.2 often has more fuel than whats indicated on the gauge and range readings so would fully expect it to start with 50 miles range.

In other words, "could" still be crank sensor....could, it dont take a sec to check, as my old boss used to say. :-)
