Mend Vauxhall Tigra Wrong Changed Fuel

what is wrong with my tigra??

i have a tigra and yesterday it was working perfect and i tried to start it this morning and it won't start. nothing went wrong with it last night. we have changed the fuel filter and checked all the plugs and they are all fine. i have even had a mechanic look at it and he said there is no reason for it not to start! any ideas?

I found out what was wrong. Believe it or not it was a loose earth to the coil!! How typical that it was something simple like that!! Thanks for your help though!
