    any fault codes come up,or did the car hit anything that may have activated a cutoff,car not turning over check the starter connections and see if it gets powered when key is held in start position for ignition contact switch problem,also try spare key for key recognition.

    engine should start on a tow if starter was knackered,wonder if there is a relay for ignition and fuel pump?
