Recently i tried to start her, she cranks as per usual but the engine will not fire up.
Can anyone offer some advice please.
Thank you

When you turn the key to the run position do you hear the fuel pump in the back of the car run for a few seconds?

Would i be able to hear the sound in the driver seat or would I need an assistant ?

Yes you would hear it from drivers side, a hum for a few seconds.
 
Good thank you. I Will get myself back there soonest possible. Is there a fuse for this pump just in case I dont hear it.

Usually, look in your owners manual
 
Thank you ,.appreciate your support.
hope its a simple fix.
 
I have checked the fuse pump and whilst at the fuse box in the engine bay checked all the fuses and swopped the fuel pump relay just do be sure.
I also sprayed quick start into the throttle body and there was an attempted start.
So it seems it is the fuel pump ?
How do I access it ? From the rear seats ?
Any advice will be appreciated
 
You can try if there is an access panel in the trunk otherwise tank would have to be dropped.
