I'm not willing to travel to Qld for $20.00 fuel or a carton but can try to help with suggestions if you can tell us a few things:
For starters, is it turning over?? If so, it's going to be fuel or electrical.
What engine is in it, 1.0, 1.3 or other?? 1.0 have problems with plastic pins in the diaphragms in the fuel pump. Fuel pumps in 1.3 just wear out. Could be electrical-leads, disy, coil etc.
Are you a member of Qld's version of NRMA (sorry not sure on what that is in Qld).
Just for starters.

Shae,
A mate at Zillmere wants me to do a head gasket on his girlfriends AUDI V6 so I can come and have a look if needed. Probably wednesday.
If Oozuk can't make it let me know.

all fixed
cam timing was out about 5 teeth
please note ppl,
if you plan on changing a water pump your self, make sure the timing belt goes back where it was. mark tooth position, and direction

Yep.. as suspected.. a timing issue. Funny how the water pump wasn't mentioned though..

That's what I thought. Luckily it was'nt an interference fit head, or you would have yourself a nice boat anchor
