Don't know how old your battery is but I would get it LOAD tested is case to big a draw on cranking .

No spark means no switching which generally means the CAS,
which you have changed but I'm wondering at the quality of the renewed CAS.
Was it O/E?
Or Ebay

Thanks both the battery is good, crank senser replaced by garage. 1 week ago. meanwhile 1200 mile trip to Poland no probs till try & start after three days standing till then no issues.
I suspect the ECU not switching the coil LT. " In the fault mode LT appears on on all the time". Maybe disconnecting the battery clears the ECU error?
The problem is my car is in Poland at present will attempt return drive in about 8 weeks time, I have ordered a spare ECU, as backup plan, any other thoughts most welcome.
