Once the ZS tank is empty it takes about 20 litres to get it working again regardless of what the gauge says, you need more fuel in there.

Also stick the car battery on charge so it's full.

Finally get some new batteries in the FOB.

The 20 litres when you rum out is a common problem.

Might also be worth checking that the fuel cut out switch hasn't been knocked.

My bad before, it does just beep! Doesn't crank!
It did it just then on a dash to the shop haha!

My ZR ran dry and it took 15l for it to start priming properly, I also had to crack the nut on the fuel filter to bleed it And press the fuel switch thing.

You do realise the 620ti ecu won't work unless the ecu has been decoded... In a ti the engine ecu is paired with a valeo unit that reads a chip in the key.
The zs has a 5as alarm ecu that sends the signal to the ecu via pin 13 to allow the engine to run.

The ecu is expecting a signal from its transponder key, it's not getting it, hence the engine won't start.

Send the ecu to best of British, they will decode the ecu and send it back to you, it basically reverts the ecu to factory settings and it will work on anything.

If the fuel cut of switch was knocked it would not even prime.
