It was on a bit of a hill on my drive but nothing to steep any ideas please . i looked under bonnet and oil , water , battery all seem fine

Put the pedal to the metal and crank it again.

maybe the battery isnt up to the job ,although it might sound like it is turning over it just might not be turning engine fast enough, try a recharge to put some ooph back in to the battery see how that is .also check the small wire on starter hasnt dicided to come off .

If the small wire on the starter comes off the engine won't turn over at all.

Could be --
1/ Low fuel.

2/ FOC.

3/ Cam sensor.

Put it into the 'search' box Steve and you'll be enlightened. When the two sections of the petrol filter loosen (on all but very early cars), the loss of fuel pressure causes non-starting. All that is needed is an orange clip to secure them again. Everything you need to know about this is already on the forum. It's been covered many times.
