Astra J Crank no Start
Discussion
Hoping someone can advise. I have an astra J 2013 that won't start.
So we had a coolant leak so changed the bottle and hose and run radweld through. It had a new clutch kit in October 2023 and the thermostat housing was changed at the time. All was good. In November the alternator belt randomly shredded so we had this replaced. It went for a good run then it just died on the way back. We have changed the crankshaft sensor, coilpack, plugs. Pretty sure the battery is dead but have put a different battery on but still won't start.
We've had a couple of mechanics out to run diagnostics but nothing showing.
Has anyone got any ideas what to try?

Now there's a statement!Not saying anything against you but competent mechanics don't just run diagnostics, they investigate & diagnose the issue using many different means to hand.
You really have no alternative but to get a competent mechanic out to check the car over properly.
Did they do a compression test?
Did they check for a working cambelt?
Did they check fuel was getting to the plugs?
Did they check for a spark at the plugs?
Did they check for fuel in the fuel rail?
I could go on & on, there are lots of things it could be unfortunately.
Do you have AA/RAC cover?
