hi mike walsh here  
just tried to start car after battery has been disconnected for three weeks while electric drivers seat was taken out for some repairs.  engine will turnover but no sign of it firing at all  
 
also i think i can hear fuel pump or evap system  chugging away all the time. used to make some noise for a couple of seconds when you  switch on ignition but now  carries on doing this .. is there something i need to reset ?? any ideas??

Is the pats light flashing a code?? but the next quick check is did you put all the wires back on the battery the small earth lead is easy to miss as it drops down !!

Fuel cut off switch in the boot?
Throttle stuck open? (WOT)
Battery fully charged and in good condition?
Petrol? Sounds like its trying to pump continuously and not get anything
