You’ve got a T4 equipped garage in Newton Abbot (Exeter Road Garage) just down the road from you. They should be able to pinpoint the problem with the T4, and save you a lot of time / expense guessing and replacing parts needlessly.

Harry, make sure the ECM isn't sitting in a puddle, and see if there is 12v present on the white/purple wire of the fuel pump.

Don't crack the injector unions Harry, the rail pressure on crank alone is 2200 psi, will the car start with a sniff of easistart?

Do you have problems with warm starts cold starts or both?

My Rover eats cam sensors, albeit aftermarket ones. Same symptoms, perfectly fine one minute, park then won't fire up, just turns over. I keep two in the car, usually last 6 months or so at £20 each approx. Quick to change, whip of the manifold cover then unplug and one little bolt.
Hope it's that.
Good luck.
