So, back to the topic. We re-timed the motor and it starts. For about 1-2 seconds. However it stalls and shuts down. If i leave the ignition on, the engine light stays on and so does the battery one. Then if i start it agin it starts, but then shuts down. Is the ECU plug the steering wheel fuse compartment? ill link a pic of the plug. I disconnected the coilpack sensor, battery, cam sensor plugs. On these motors do you have to reset any ECU's? if so how?

Multiplexed Electrical System
When disconnecting the battery to do electrics, or just to change it, you need to follow this guide. Failure to do this could result in a £600 bill from Peugeot!
* Put down the drivers window.
* Pop and Open the bonnet. Shut ALL DOORS apart from the bonnet.
* Leave the car for at least 3 minutes. This allows the BSI to shut down and go to "sleep."
* Disconnect the clamps on the battery, and change/do electrics/whatever you are planning to do.
* When reconnecting, reattach the clamps on the battery. Don't shut the bonnet yet. Leave the car for a few more minutes. This allows the car to settle.
* Lean through the drivers window, and turn the sidelights on. (Don't open the door.)
* This is called a "Soft Start" for the BSI.
* Let the car finish thinking about everything, and check all the systems etc.
* Start the car.

The problem is your compression. Have you retested it, how many teeth were you out, and on which side?

Car runs perfectly now, there were NO BENT VALVES, and no other faults. The timing was off, there is also 2 pin holes for the intake cam. That is what threw us off. Finally finished now and loves the sounds of the engine now it works.

Very lucky! Have you driven it? I ask because just because it runs doesn't mean its timed up right

Not lucky, i just knew the basics.. e.g. when people told me the valves where bent i knew they werent, i have a good understanding of how engines work, just never worked on a floating crank weird french setup but hey... learn something new everyday. Nah havent road tested yet, but it will run fine.
