Did it have a HG failure? Water pump may be seized causing resistance on the belt.

Firts port of call should be the order the plug leads are on, followed by have you timed up the cam/cambelt correctly?

Then check that the earth lead is attached.

leave it and check battery there is 12 volts

12.2v is considered flat, so if it is only showing 12v it is beyond flat!

Fully changed it should show around 12.6v

 

[randomizered]

Upto around 14V when running, current is just as important as volts though

as you do when doing any repiar and it does not work you second guess everything you have done iknow timing is bang on,alternator is not siezed,will check water pump and will do a commpression test as well the leads are ok marked them up before removing if there is compression there it is electrical problem thank you all for your input get back to you all soon cheers

 

[BROCST@r]

checked water pump ok and commpresion all ok put on new battery,turns over alot better but slows down for asecond and then cranks over ok gonna get some new plugs and recheck timing think i am using right marks can anybody tell me what they do thanks again

There is a small raised alignment mark on the end of the crank that lines up with a hole in the bottom pulley, did you get that right?
