Replace your relays on your firewall! Sounds awfully similar to a problem I had
Is the car immobilized? if so you may have to lock and unlock the car with the key and not the remote.
Is it turning over or just nothing, also starter motor may be jammed. put the car in gear with the hand brake off and push the car forward until you feel the engine turn over. You dont need the keys in the car!
This should free the starter off, sometimes they jam very tight and will not move at all, on these jags. they get rusty quickly if sat about. I had a XJ many years ago great motors.
Good luck.

Yes we thought perhaps it was the immobilizer initially but have unlocked and locked the car with the key several times but alas still with no luck!
It is turning over but just doesn't 'grip' but just keeps 'coughing' (sorry for the lack of proper terms here!)
Will try pushing the car though - may solve the problem since we had to push it back in place in the drive way when it didn't want to start in the first place!
Cheers! ;-)

Just put this proposition forward to the mechanics helping and they said not to do that because it's an automatic car and so you can't put it into gear otherwise you will break the gear box he said. He believes it might be a problem with the pump that pumps the petrol to the engine instead?
