Wondering if anyone can help me with a problem with my car,Its a corsa B 1.2 8 V.recently my timing belt went and i had to replace the gasket and some valves,thats all been done and fine,starts up no problems but after a few drives my battery died and it hasnt sparked since,its turning over but there is no spark:

Here is what ive checked and changed:

New Battery(Mine was getting on a bit anyway)
New Rotor Arm
New Distributor Cap
Alternator been sent away,checked and coem back passed
ECU Checked and Come back,Passed
Checked Spark plug and leads,correct distance and in good condition

I cant think of anything else i need to do.As i say,was driving along and it died,as if alternator was charging the battery,put the battery on charge,put it back in and now it doesnt start up,TBH im a little confused.

Has anyone have any ideas,cheers
