If it was a new dizzy, why did you replace the rotor and cap?
I would be very surprised if all the HT leads were faulty?
Questions.
Does it turn over ok
Have toy checked the CPS plug (grey plug near the dip stick), pull it apart, give the contacts a clean and try again. failing that, consider a replacement CPS, but my money is on the grey CPS plug

No CPS as its a 16v
Turns over fine
Think I have now traced the fault to a duff PCM relay so posting a 'wanted' ad for one.
Thanks for your help , much appreciated
Re: NO SPARK - any suggestions please?
Is there another relay the same as the PCM in another position ?

There is one next to it which is the same shape/size but it is a different colour so presumably there is a difference? I would need to remove it to see if the pins are the same too.
