A mate of mine has the above car, nine out of ten times it will start normally, but sometimes it wont. If you leave it for an hour or so it will start. It is getting fuel ok but no spark, any ideas

When it doesn't start, ask your mate to watch the rev counter - as it cranks, the rev counter needle should move to around 150-200rpm. If it doesn't move, the crank position sensor would be my first port of call.

Crank position sensor was the problem, thank you for your help.
