Did this happen after the battery relocation?
Was happening before too. It's an electrical fault, just can't find it.

Just tried the battery back up the front to rule that out still nothing. Earth points that I know of are ok, and loom looks ok
Yup, injector wiring is showing voltage and spark plugs where damp with fuel from where it hasn't been firing.
it has fuel=damp petrol smelling plugs
it has ign feed to coils=checked 12v to its respective earths
does the engine see rotation to know to fire? guessing so if injectors are firing and wet, but not spark?
dry the plugs, try warming them... and try again

checking voltage at coil during cranking may reveal an issue..
seen that before - wiring earths were the issue then

Spent all day on it mate. Tested everything!
Moved battery up front
Tested all the coils
Tested all the wiring
Checked all the earths
Created new earths
After what felt like testing everything bill suggested checking voltage on the coils at cranking... 10V! It appeared to be dropping voltage between ignition and cranking, so traced all the wires insulated everything again and tried again... Same problem. Decided on a whim to change the NEW BKR7EIX plugs I had in it for some BKR8EIX plugs I had sitting around and wham fired first time!
Had me completely stumped and the only thing I could put it down to was a bad batch of plugs... These where bought brand new from opie so they will be getting a snotty email shortly.
Anyway glad it's all fixed, doesn't throw any codes and runs like a dream.
Managed to get it outside to put the r32 seats in and tidy up the mess I had left behind. All in all, a long, stressful day but glad its sorted.

Ps come to the AmD RR day
Good work mate, annoying you had to cover all those bases but it's good to to know what state all of that is in also.
Dodgey batch of plugs then or maybe damaged in transit maybe. Who knows. Either way, I'm glad she's alive again
Who knows, had to be a dodgy bath IMO. Just glad it's fixed.
My Leon still off road mate otherwise i would
Would be good to line up all the LCR's for a quick photoshoot
