Hey welcome to the forum, remember to post these Q's in the appropriate section :-)

As per your question...hmm, well, ignition and fuel...if you've fixed what the computer said is wrong...try scanning it again see if any new codes pop up, if you've already done this..make sure your ignition system is working and your fuel system...check all sub systems as well...including fluids.

In addition...to help us out a little, what are the symptoms when you try and start it up? Does it turn over? Anything??

Yes it tries hard to fire up but something is telling it there is a problem and it just turns over.I have a guy on his way with a £3000 grand computer to try his luck

Thanks John

Hi jsd
the latest on the superb is that a nut come adrift inside and mashed all-sorts so a new engine is on order and Skoda UK are looking into it and sending an engineer and may cover it under warrenty as it finished in march

Yikes bud, that sucks to hear! I sure hope they cover it under warrantee! It's not to bad though, you could always go to a junkyard and get a decent replacement engine for cheap. But otherwise, we'll keep our fingers crossed!
