    Exactly - it's perfectly fine to park like this where I live.

    It's not where but how.

    You have pulled the code P0335? Not sure why your looking for fuel problems when your code reader has already told you the ecu doesn't think the engine is turning, that's why it's not letting the car fire up. Change the crank sensor and see what happens then.

    Cheers fella, that's why I was asking originally if the crankshaft sensor failing would only show on start up. The only reason I was questioning is that once its started it runs perfectly. If it was crankshaft would I not get problems while running as well as starting? I need to pick up some brake pads and discs today anyway so might see if they can order me a sensor in.

    Crankshaft sensor or Camshaft sensor.

    A fault with either of these will not send the correct info to the ECU which in turn will not allow the injectors to operate.

    But would that only show on starting after it has been stood for a while though?
