yes it turns over just won't start was told by a bloke from vauxhall if a value was stickin u lose compression so it won't start i was told to tow me car around 30mph and bump it in 3rd that should build up compression and hopefully should start but i just don't know

Was the car smokey before? You did put the new leads on the right way round?  
Yea the bump starting it should build up compression if thats whats wrong give it a go

Sticking valves does happen but its a bit unusual, also it would only cause the misfire like the engine had to start with, it wouldnt stop it firing up all together. can you start the car if you give it some throttle?

Ok then first thing is to get a compression test done, testers arent expensive and you can do it yourself. That will tell you if there is any mechanical dammage or if it is someting electrical like the DIS pack

my car 14xe did this not to long ago, just keep turning it over should eventualy fire up.... Easy way to check spark is to put plug in lead and put it on the block see if it sparks on each cylinder then you can rule out coil pack..
