The fact that the car started after you re-connected the battery is probably a coincidence. Can you smell petrol when the car is turning over?, if not then check that the fuel cut off switch hasn't popped up. This seems like a good place to start.

As with any non-starting petrol engines, you need to determine if the fault is lack of fuel, or lack of sparks.
If there's a good spark at the plugs then check if the fuel pump runs for a second or so when you turn on the ignition. If there's no spark then check the security LED on top of the dashboard - is it lit or flashing?

If it were to do with the flashing LED on top of the dashboard then surely it would be a key problem & the engine wouldn't even turn over.

Not necessarily. My car had the exact same problem. Would turn over, but not fire. Could try a hundred times if I wanted. Nothing. Didn't help leaving it with the battery connected. Simply wouldn't fire no matter how long I left it. Disconnected battery for half an hour, and it _always_ started.
Never found the cause though, it just disappeared after a while. I suspect the car had the optional PartialSelfHeal(tm) package fitted.

Hi this is a classic symptom on these cars of battery failure they have to be in tip top condition get yourself an appropriate rated new battery and I think this problem will be solved.

Try the fuel pump relay. Relay 17 in battery side fuse box.

I would try to help you but I haven't the foggish what you have typed! If you tried again in ENGLISH, then maybe other 'expert' members will be able to help. Don't forget we have alot of foreign members who will run your post through the likes of Babel Fish....who knows what that will translate to !!!

It sounds more like a wet fuebox... you have all the classic symptoms, flat battery overnight and won't start but works fine with a new battery. Got to be the fusebox, do you have a battery cover?

Talking of batteries....my battery kept going flat after I bought the car. I charged it up again but it would only last a while before going flat again. The alternator was fine. The guy in my local auto shop suggested putting in a calcium battery (most new cars have these). I thought I'd give it a go & bought a 510 amp calcium battery (£60) from him & it has not failed me yet.
