Well,
Got a phone call back from some dealers in Spain , They cant get the part for around 1-2 weeks and would cost 80 euros. Gave in and ordered a brand new one on eBay for £30 something and also a brand new breather pipe from rimmerbros £26.00 with delivery! ( robbing gits )
These parts are going to my nans in the UK as my parents are currently in the middle of spain on there road trip up to the UK.
So nothing will happen until my parents arrive back , early January. Also got a new head cylinder for my Astra , gaskets , head bolts... poor things had the head gone for well over a year and i don't fancy having my heaters on full in the summer haha.
Another month wont hurt i guess , glad i haven't lost interest in her

It's not really Rimmers being robbing gits, that's the xpart price, you'd pay the same at any UK xpart dealer.

Okay my parents arrived back with the map sensor and the breather pipe. Map sensor error has now gone but it still fails to start !

I've just watched, and re watched your vid of it trying to start, that engine is desperate to run, and is really trying to fire up, are you 100% sure the timing is right, and how much fuel is in it.

Timing looks perfect, the rear cam lines are aligned . when pulling the plugs you can smell fuel on them.
It runs fine with hairspray and revs , guessing now I've fixed the breather it should idle okay now but don't want to spray easy start in it tbh

tbh, I'm fresh out of ideas, it wants to run, you can see that, I can't see what else could be stopping it from going, everything seems to have been covered.
I'm tempted to suggest a compression check might be in order.

My thoughts too , I'm going to double check the timing tomorrow. When we took the spark plugs out they were black as a hat so cleaned it with a wire brush but didn't do it on the rears , what's the gap size for the kv6 ?

You shouldn't clean pugs with a wire brush small pieces of the wire can get into the plugs causing them to misfire.
