Did get it started again, just pressed accelerator twice and cranked it over (thanks Ross for advice). However I did notice a bit of smoke out the exhaust, it's 45° out but seemed a bit too much... hopefully not something seriously wrong. I did check and it was a bit low on oil, still up the dipstick but below Low. Obviously will top off. Didn't run it too long... meant to check before starting but got distracted.
Video is here, ignore how it all comes out one side, the exhaust was always like that. To me I didn't smell anything weird so I don't think it's a head gasket leak, but with the stink of non catalytic converter exhaust I am less confident.
