Hi
I have a problem with my 106XN 1.1, Firstly i lost all power the engine was still running but car would not move. Now it wont start although it will turn over.
We noticed oil in the radiator and have changed the head gasket and spark plugs. It still wont start (it turns over) what will be your advice.

just a thought if you changed the spark plugs did u make sure you connected the ht leads to the correct spark plug or if you changed the head maybe the timing may slightly be out

mate i now its stupid but have you made sure that the battery has enough charge and connected properly, cos judging by the sequence of events it could be that. if not then haynes has the following list of possible faults ref ur problem;

ignition components damp or damaged
broken, loose or disconnected wiring in the ignition curcuit
worn faulty or inccorectly-gapped spark plugs [and jordy's sugestion]
air in fuel system
choke mechanism incorrectly adjusted, worn or sticking
faulty fuel cut-off solenoid

if you not sure if any of these are the problem and its not the bat, then ide advise to just take it to a garadge it will save alot of tinkering and hasel mate.
good luck.
