Hi
Had the same problem with mine.... Got a new battery and it still would not start so then changed spark plug's car started great for a few day's then started running like i'd put kangaroo juice init !? Turned out to be The ignition coil pack (HT leads) cost £50 from an independant car part's shop....Main dealer wanted £170!!!! Solved the problem.

Any flashing light on tha dash when you try to start it? Any lights that weren't on before?
Have you tried the spare key?
