Sounds like your battery hasnt enough oomph to turn the engine ans spark strongly enough to run at the same time, maybe get the battery checked at Kwik fit or somewhere?

A vague memory is tickleing my brain that there is a sensor that doesnt allow the sparks until the rpm is up to a certain speed, but I may be wrong on that, what year is it and have you had the engine codes read to see if they tell whats wrong.
