The other 3 must have been low for it not to start.

Re: engine turning over but not starting.
The other 3 cylinders was 8bar equal, a couple of mechanics have said if it was the head gasket there should be some pressure and should start on 3 cylinders, but they are thinking more cambelt jumping a couple of teeth as she wont start or bent or stuck valve.
Wont know untill the heads off, just got to tow her to my garage once I have emptied it a bit more then I will either have a go myself or strip for selling the spares im really not sure at all.
Just one question guys I know this is a big job and i am not scared of the tools but is this a job worth taking on?

Re: engine turning over but not starting.
If you are able to DIY, then it's certainly worth doing.
As it is=scrap money, fixed= £ going rate for age/condition of car.
Does sound like a jumped belt.
