The engine relay is certainly on the list of things to eliminate but I have a feeling it's not that - my understanding is that without the relay the injectors don't fire? When I took the plugs out to check them there seemed to be plenty of fuel in the cylinders.

At the moment I get a brief rise in RPM as if it is catching but then it dies. If I keep cranking it doesn't do anything. From my research it could be the ignition antenna ring, also on the list to check are coil, rotor and cam sensor. But I've decided to try and read codes before throwing any more parts at it.
If you have more than 1 chipped key, does it behave the same with both? The catching but not starting I can achieve with mine by using a non-chipped key, so that would point to ignition ring or maybe the module.

Be interested to know how you get on with VOL-FCR, I've had a lead for ages but not got round to trying the free version yet.
