Is this the Motoring Forum similarly kaput..?

My new car is more like a computer with an engine so I can understand the confusion.
Stevensanne - you need to speak to whoever fitted the head gasket, & there is a specific motoring board elsewhere.

None of the above replies contain a link to the motoring forum, so here is a link for the OP: Motoring

Whatever happened to helping people, especially those unfamiliar with new territory?

Petrol, diesel? What age?

"Won't start", but is it trying? Presumably it started when you brought it home? How long (time/miles/use) since the HG was changed?

Will assume petrol as it needed a head gasket. You need to go through everything methodically to make sure everything is connected up correctly. 
Crank sensor connected
Injectors connected
Coil / plug connections in the right order. 
Cam sensors connected if fitted. 
Is the immobiliser switching off. 

If it still won't fire pull the plugs and check the compression readings.
