Is the engine turning over? What if you bridge out the starter? Or give the starter a good wack with your hammer handle?

if its not turning over check your body control module (bcm), do a search on bcm related problems you might find something & go over all the relays under the bonnet.

Checked alternator output? Should be 13.5-14v, too high and it can cause all sorts of problems.

normally the problem with a series one is not stopping
sorry had to say it. I'd be checking to see if the immobiliser is kicking in if it cranks by bridging the starter but still won't start sounds like it is immobilised
