It could mean that he has put the leads on wrong and that it's all firing out of order, that could stop it from firing up.

Bollox, a new engine wont solve anything, it's got nothing to do with it. It's the rest of the stuff connected to the engine and your guy sounds to busy to get properly stuck in

Your car was running but had a fault, now your mechanic has fooked it up and it won't start at all.

Your mechanic sounds like he is way out of his debth and it's only a mk2 Ibiza. WFT would he do with a mk5 Ibiza 1.4 twin charger 180?

Don't pay him, take your car to a proper mechanic or sell it to me for 20 quid and I will fix it and sell it on.

My money is on the dizzy being 180 degrees out.

If he just lines up #1 then line the rotor on the dizzy just a bit before it and take it from there, if it's getting spark and fuel then it's not getting them at the right time.
