None of the three faults listed are anything related to an issue that would stop the car from starting if there is enough power to turn it over.

C5A0 is related to a coding fault of the head unit (infotainment) and could be a spurious one
3887 is a general low voltage fault.
6030 is an electric parking brake fault. That one is common as an 'associated' fault because of low voltages.

I could try , as I’ve never done this before, I’m at work today , so I’ll try tonight 🌞
 
@Shelly Have you managed to sort the problem yet or at least found out what it is?
 
I wonder if the fuel pump has failed, try squirting some easystart into the intake after the Maf and then crank it, if it fires its going to be the pump that's failed.

Morning @smiffy
Allan has changed the spark plugs , coil packs , fuel module, and a new battery, hopefully tomorrow we will have a low rider arrive and it will go to our garage we use .( our mechanic has been on holiday)
No, we still don’t know what is wrong with my Z , Allan said he doesn’t think the fuel is getting through , there might be a blockage in the fuel pump .
Hopefully my Z will be back on the road soon.🤔
 
Good you have a plan, I'm sure he'll crack it.
Only just seen your post, otherwise I'd have popped over for a look. It will be something really stupid!
Just drifted back to the forum after what seems like far too long, finally found some motivation to put my Z3 back together!
Keep us posted.
 
The low rider didn’t turn up yesterday, 45 minutes before he was meant to arrive, Allan got a phone call to say , something has come up and he can’t do it till next week now .
We have now got another company coming today to take my Z to the garage 🌞
 
My poor Z has now been taken to the garage 🌞

Not good news for my beautiful Z …… 🥲
The mechanic has looked at the Z and so far ……
He,s said no compression on two cylinders, the timing guide is out and possibly snapped and something about the chain guide , and something about the rods , he’s doing it in stages to see what else is wrong with it , Allan spoke to the garage we use , so there might be more things to add to this too ……😢
 
Sorry to hear this Shelly.

Tony.

Allan said about getting a recon engine…….
But it depends if it’s worth it or not ……🤔

Im so sad about it 😢
Ive had this Z for nearly 8 years with no problems……. 🤔
