I asked that too and it turned out to be a dead battery causes them to do that.
One new Bosch S5 later and it fired up after a good cranking.

Just got a brand new battery which I've been using in my astra for 2-3 weeks. It only happened two or three times , after that the fans wouldn't spin after cranking... Strange

Most likely it was just a random thing in your case, although a flat battery will trip the fans on.

Does anyone know the measurement of the air filter , received one in the post but it's a lot smaller than the plastic holder..

Another note , I have 6 new plugs , cam sensor and crank sensor , fuel filter.. If I fails to start this time I will call out a mechanic I know..

Ah, the wrong air filter sketch, it should be approx 372mm x 115mm x 42mm.

Right :/

Don't know why companies state it fits MG ZS 180 2.5 when its incorrect size.

Seems to be a common thing, there was a similar post on another forum recently, they seem to send a filter for k4 engines.
