I've currently got a problem with my 850 T5, it was running fine one day but wont start the next, turns over but wont spark. Fuel's getting through, the fob is working theres petrol in the tank. I've read the faults and there's none. below is a list of things i've changed-
Dizzy and leads;
Cam Sensor;
Fuel Relay;
Coil.

I'm now stumped- any on got any ideas?

(i've posted on a few forums also)

bet you its a faulty cam sensor - small metal plate on the end of the exhaust cam (rear right side of the engine) they were plastic on the ealier models car simply won't start if it's buggered - where abouts are you? I have a spare if you want to try and see if it fixes it?
