Is your sunroof working? Sunroof and spoiler are on the same fuse (16 if I remember).

 

If it starts it's not spark, so fuel or immobiliser more likely. Relay for the fuel pump maybe? You can hear a noisy pump near the fuel cap or from under the rear bench, but a good pump I almost silent anyway.

WD40 on the immobilser coil reader connection under the dash by the spoiler switch should solve it.

Fuses are under the right hand tray below the steering column. There are two square lugs to pull down and out then slide the tray out to show the fuses and relays.

Sounds like the classic immobiliser problem again - another vote for that from me.

 

If the car starts and runs as normal for like 1 second then just cuts out, then it's likely to be it.

I know a few body shops locally but not cheap to be honest you get what you pay for when it comes to spraying.

 

Suspension wise Dave Coe in gorseinion are good for setting up a car. I got Andrew at kingsway to fit my weitecs then dave did the geo.
