Default PLease Help Range Rover will not start

Hi guys,

I just bought a 98 Range Rover SE 4.0L. I am having a problem with starting it. It turns over normal and gets fire to the plugs but will not crank. Can this be the crank position sensor if I am getting fire to the plugs?

Fuel pump seems to come on for a few seconds when turn the key to the on position. The only messages that come up on the dash are "windows not set".

Thanks.

I just checked the oil and theres water mixing with it. Blown head gasket? Would that cause it not to run?
Thanks.

yes a blown headgasket would let water into the cylinder i hope that you didnt try to start it in this condition as you might bend a rod and thus a new good used engine would be the recipe for repair

Well, I did try to crank it a few times before I realized I had water in the oil. The engine was turning over a little slower than normal. I guess that maybe why it never tried to fire up??? I'm going to hopefully tear it down this weekend and see what is going on. i have ordered a new head gasket kit for it.
