does it start at all if you jump start it?
also quick fit would probably say that to get you to fork out anyway D:

so you turn the key it trys to turn over then stops and does nothing?
check the earth strap ontop of the gearbox
check there is anti freeze in it , it could of cracked the block an lost compression!
check the terminals are on the battery properly and not cracked at all
check both wire are on the starter motor ok and give it a tap with a crowbar or something when it stops turning over
if all of that seems ok, go back to the basics get a spark plug out put it in the end of the lead and rest it on the engine somewhere (its got to be earthed and dont hold it you get a smack!) turn it over and see if it sparks if it does put it back in. then loosen the fuel rail pull it off carefully and turn it over make sure all 4 injectors are fueling
if the spark plugs are not sparking then your looking at coil / plugs / leads / earths
if the injectors arnt working properly your looking at blocked injectors / blocked fuel line / shagged fuel pump or something worse but try the above first and get back to us when your done and have the results and were try help you further
