    Have you got a spark? Pull a plug and check. After that check you have petrol getting to injectors.
    I do feel sorry for you. This is bad timing

      Can you pull the fault codes?

      As Dave says above you could do some basic checks to narrow things down a little.

      Cam position sensors have a habit of failing at the worst possible time, not saying it's that but it would be one of my first thoughts if you don't have a spark.

        There is a good guide to follow here:


        There aren't too many things that will stop a car firing so shouldn't take too long to run through.
