Dear bev,

Without running the risk of coming across as rude I must inform you that your post is extremely vague. Firstly you had me at 'I have an opel', secondly there are multiple reasons for a car not starting. The most basic of these would be an empty fuel tank or a kaput battery.

Let's start with a question shall we?
What happens when you turn the ignition? Does it make a sound? If so, please describe this sound.

Opel... There's your problem.
