The manual suggests using a clock or watch to time the pedal presses.
If still no luck, OBD2 code readers are available on ebay from £20. Or a USB cable and software to plug into a laptop.

Are you following this? http://www.npoc.co.uk/forum/p12-all-engines-read-reset-ecu-fuel-pump_topic54932.html
If it will not reset, then the detected problem has not been corrected. Strange if it is crank/cam sensors as this would not be detected until the engine is being turned over.
Count the long and short flashes to confirm the error code(s)

the earth lead usually breaks between the gearbox and body, Quickest way to check is to grab a good heavy duty jump lead(got to be a good lead or it won;t work). Put it on on earth of the battery and then onto the engine (metal) then turn the key. If it starts trouble free then you have an earth issue |

Just thought I'd throw it into the pot, have you checked your earth straps are all OK? This is a known problem on ALL P12 models and can cause starting problems specifically.
