What voltage you getting at battery with / without engine running? (Possibly faulty alternator?)

When you say no chance of starting do you mean it just turns over or will it no crank?

Same problem here. New Battery and Alternator. (not starter though) also getting random dash lights coming on now and then

2.2's have an issue with teh fuel flowing back. If you park nose down a hill you wont have issues. There is an uprated part, but as its a long time since my 2.2 days (Saab) I cant remember all the details. Im sure people have fitted 1 way valves etc. Alternatively I think its the injector seals people have issues with. Someone with a current 2.2 will be along shortly to give all the details, otherwise google is your friend

Could be a bad engine/gearbox to body earth. This can also be causing the random dash lights. I would advise you to find out where all the earths are and check them, or an easy check is to put a jump lead from the engine block to the battery neg terminal and see if its improved starting
