Car started with jumpleads, drove ok, but then next day although battery was fully charged and car turning over, it would not start. Looked like it might have been out of petrol but now has petrol in. Immobiliser light goes out and the fuel pump is not tripped. Will not start with jump leads either now.
Any clues?

DOES IT TURN BUT NOT FIRE OR DOES IT JUST CLICK AND OR TURN SLOWLY ? does the starter spin but not engine ?

presuming its a manual?

regardless of abouve put car in 1st gear and rock back and fourth then try again.

that does not work try push starting and use second gear

if that does not work try a tow start.

If it starts on any of the above it could well be the starter motor or leads to starter

if its turning but not firering you may have a fuel blockage

Thanks guys for the suggestions.

Turns out to be blown fuse due to running very low on fuel and tripping the fuel pump fuse.
