Check the crank sensor, same issue I had on an Uno turbo (well actually it was the flywheel sensor in this case) no spark or fuel because the ECU didn't know the engine was turning over.

Yep. correct. Unless the ECU receives a signal, the fuel relay will not power the pump and no spark will be produced. Easy to change the crank sensor on that model. The crank sensor sits in a volatile area where it will pick up muck and wear. So they do fail once in awhile.

Can probably fail at anytime. Haynes indicates that "the sensor is located in a bracket bolted to the crankshaft rear oil seal housing, on the manifold side of the engine." Don't attempt to remove the sensor bracket! Find the wire which goes into the loom and follow it back is a good way of finding it.
