Ive had the same problem last few days, missus car was knackered last week, used mine to jump start it a couple of times, Drove ZS 100 mile roud trip friday, left it until yesterday then it wont start, coughing and spluttering but wont start. Jump started it, still nothing, bump started it and nothing.
Greenflag came out this morning and towed it to garage with them thinking it was fuel related or starter motor as its cranking and trying a little more to fire up when pumping pedal but still nothing.
I expected cam shaft sensor as it was showing all signs of this.
Garage rang this morning, used another Battery and after a couple of attempts it fired up. It turned out I had flooded engine trying that many times to start it.
£15 lighter, same battery, couple of checks and its running and working.
just saying see if its something a little less complex such as starter motor or as minor as a battery draining.
As all MG owners do, we dread the worst when something like this happens!
