Mend Rover 214 Wont Start

how can i fix my rover 214!? it wont start?

I recently git into some problems with my 1996 P reg rover 214 (the new shape)! i just had the leads changed new distributor cap spark plugs and then the gaskett went so i got that replaced once that was done whilst still in thhe garage the car wouldnt start up again! however after being tried and then left for a few minutes it did! which isnt very reliable and still left me with a problem the garage said it was probly the crankshaft sensor so they fitted a new one of them! i still have the same problem can anyone help! this is becoming a bit of a nightmare an my wallet is nearly empty! any suggestions would really help! thanks

I've had the same problem with my rover (it's exactly the same model and Reg as yours). Does the engine turn over at all or is it silent? If it's not turning over, try checking the starter motor. Mine went and that's the reason it wouldn't start. It finally started after being bump-started. The same problem happend again two weeks ago when it failed to start. Eventually, I got a new battery fitted and so far so good. Try looking for a Car Transport place near to you. I got my starter motor and battery from there and they are a lot cheeper than shops or garages. Hope this helps.
