Just took the cutoff switch off the car to test it. The outer most 2 pins seem to be connected to each other no matter if the switch is pressed or not.
Car sat still over winter for some months, now it doesn't start any more.
New battery and new TDC sensor fitted - no spray coming out of injectors.

thanks guys :)
I started out being a horrible driver. It really does take time to improve. Just keep at it. This was from 2007. It was only thanks to BMW's DSC that I survived...
