timing belt is first area

oh and the chances are because you spun the engine over it will definitely have waked the valves so causing a costly repair

Check the battery.

HELP
 

checked timing belt and cam belts

check the top "cams" are turning with the bottom end the belt might have stripped the teeth on the crank pulley so nothing will turn

battery seems good i dont understand why it doesent even try to fire up

if the bottom is turning and the top is still there will not be a spark so it cant fire up, I hope im wrong but it seems likely and the sound you get is it sounds like there is no compression

yea sounds like you might have thrown the t belt and fucked the valves, id check to see if the cams are turning like avant said

have taken off cover to cam area and belt looks very new could it not be an electrical fault or a ecu problem.
