Cheers Soulman. Just an update, I got a new battery, put the new tps sensor back in and put a petrol can full of petrol in it and it started up, so it looks like it was due to lack of petrol which is a bit odd as the guage was showing nearly quarter of a tank.

Ive done about 100 miles since and its been fine even at high revs so it looks like it was either the tps sensor or theres a problem when theres less than quarter of a tank of fuel.

Yes i dont have much luck with cars lol. Ive tried both keys, I noticed the immobiliser light stays on for a while when cranking which I read means that the immobiliser is operating correctly. Ive just been messing about with it and the battery has gone flat again, I only charged it last night so it looks like i need a new battery. I doubt that will fix my problems though but I guess its a good place to start.

and when i try and start the car the red light comes on and stays on

Just had a look and the immobiliser light which i believe is above the clock does not flash when the ignition is off, is it supposed to ?

tried a different battery and it still wont start. I believe the tps was coming up as a fault code so that why he suggested replacing that first.  I cant even get the car to the garage now it wont start, its a nightmare.
