might be an AFM problem.

sounds like the problem is fuel related if the plugs are coming out very wet. it is probably putting too much fuel in and flooding it so the plugs aren't able to fire. try unplugging the injector loom and turning the car over a bit to try and get some of the fuel out of the engine and then plug it back in and see what happens.

i know you are in scotland, so that makes the next thing a bit hard, but i would try and get a hold of a consult cable. you may be able to get something on ebay over there (not really sure what is available outside of australia) butif you can get one then you can read off the ecu any possible fault codes and check things like the AFM voltage as well as other things.

Something is causing excess fuel to be delivered during the start process. Try giving it full throttle while trying to start. This will allow heaps of air in to help the fuel ignite.

i would say fuel pressure reg has shit its self.

I spent $30 on some fuel line and a little speco fuel gauge to test my pressure.

i think that your on the ball got a pressure gauge on loan tomorrow. Should i just disconnect the fuel line coming from the regulator and place the gauge between?

If the fpr has failed i assume that the fuel rail will hold the full pressure?

You need to place the gauage between the fuel rail and fpr, the fpr is what hols pressure in the rail, if its screwed it will either lock up and you will get heaps of pressure in the rail and lots of fuel being pushed through the injectors, or it wont hold any pressure and you will get none in the rail.
