Check fuses/relays?
Is the engine turning over when you press the start button?

also try in future the switch (Grey and green) which is on top of the clutch and brake pedal. My car somehow had them two wires cut so the cars ignition would turn on but the engine wouldn't fire on.

My '05 Megane had the same symptoms after the first month or so, which turned out to be an earthing problem. It could jump start but the ignition wouldn't allow you to just start it as normal. Dunno if that's a common fault?

Its something between the switch above the clutch and brake pedal and the igintion button, i've cut the switch out and connected the wires together but once I hit 70mph service light comes on and I have to re-earth the wires. AA told me they just need to be soldered togehter. So check your wires don't have any cuts in them and get the switch checked out too.
