Cant understand your post . If it's ticking over , it's running . Certainly not advisable to put petrol down plugs .

no i mean its wanting to start but not actually starting,a mechanic told me to put petrol down the spark plugs,i think it might be a blocked fuel filter but not sure where it is

I think the fuel filter on your car is located on passenger side rear,just in front of the rear wheel , next to fuel tank .Can you hear the fuel pump when you switch ignition on ? Might have to remove plugs and clean / dry them .You really have to see if you are getting the basics ,fuel and spark .
