Engines turns but doesn't seem to want to fire.
Is this a common problem?

Haven't had a chance to investigate fully but any help would be appreciated. :)

what engine do you have?

2.0 petrol (8V?).

I was thinking of trying to get a spark off the HT lead and then work my way around!

I reckon it'll be the coil - get a spark plug, earth the outer casing & see if you can 'see' the spark on any of the leads

then inspect the rotor arm to check it's not worn out.

Of course - it might have coil packs, and then I'd be flumoxed!

Many thanks.
I'll try tonight. I've got some new plugs and a new rotor arm just in case! I like to be optimistic!
