New Year , new car don't be such a tight arse..😃😃😃

I'd have been tempted by your old Merc.

. 

That went back to MTSV where I bought it from, he sold it almost immediately it was exceptional though.

Get your colleague to listen by the pump to see if it is making a noise while you crank to engine. But.. if you simply pull the plugs you will see if they are wet if they are it’s obviously getting fuel. Whilst it’s dismantled you can then simply check for a spark at the plugs. If you have fuel and spark then it is most probably a mechanical problem

If he buys Mrs Opti a new one then he will have to buy all his mistresses one too 

so he should probably enquire about a fleet of these clicky
good MPG and not too hard to work on

Dunno Dave, the fitting of the bag onto that frame looks a bit tricky.

Get under the Car and bash the f*ck out of the plastic fuel tank, preferably with someone cranking it.

Fuel pumps are common issues on these and sometimes a good wack can be a temporary fix.

Tried again with a fully charged battery. SFA.....not even a glimpse of it wanting to spark into life.

I've called the RAC man with an ETA of 3-4 hours.

I'll see what he says. My guess is fuel pump.

You should have bought one and had it ready for him to fit when he arrived.

I think it may be fuel pump.....I wouldn't bet my house on it though.

Lift the rear seat base, pop the circular cover off and listen......then idiot it with something soft

Cruel.

I imagine the RAC have been out ,looked, told him to take it to a garage to be fixed
i doubt RAC would fit a fuel pump IF that is the issue
