Any one had any problem starting for the first time?

Mine is cranking over fine and sounds like it's about to start but it will not
Fuel is getting up to the fuel rail
Wiring connections ok
The last thing is to check fuses tonight
Failing that Caterham say it's back to them to have the laptop pluged in to find the problem

Have I missed anythink???

I'm having the same trouble. Just tried starting it and it is attempting to fire but never catches. I'm reluctant to try too much more as I'll kill the battery.
Any ideas?

Also, is the alternator light (red lightning symbol in Rev gauge) supposed to be on until it starts?

(I've posted this elsewhere as I'm dying to get it started now)
