Must have to start in the first place, are you having overheating issues or flooding the engine with petrol?

No overheating. Well according to the clock. No flooding I dont think. It's really pissing me off now like, really want to know what is making this happen.
I am going to give it a service, change filters, plugs, oil and see if anything changes from there.

have you checked the crack sensor?
idle control sensor?
could be a faulty power feed to the fuel pump

That's only if you add a superchip, else you average about 200 meters.

Thats a common symptom of a crank sensor starting to fail. Infact id put money on it being that. Not alot of cash i dont think

yeah i agree on the crank sensor diagnosis. you will notice it will get to the point where it will cut out then not re-start after a while. instead of not restarting when you turn it off as it is now.

Today I went in the shop and come out, wouldn't start for absolutely ages, wouldn't even bump start, then eventually it started :S
Are these crank sensors easy for replace?

Found the problem, it is the Crank Sensor.
Getting fixed sometime this week, £38 I think it was for the part, also giving it a good service 
Cheers for the help.
