Problems starting EB XR8

Hey guys, just went for a drive christmas shopping today and got back in the car and whammo! She wont start! I tried winding it over a few times to no avail and eventually decided that i would have to do something about this (or it would be a long walk home!) Anyway i grabbed the shifter out of the glovebox and removed and replaced the positive terminal on the battery (this resets the computer yes?) anyway it started then after a few turns on the first attempt. I've driven it home and it ran fine like normal but obvuiously i'm worried it'll do this again. For the record, it did this three times last week (though not as bad) after i adjusted the timing so maybe its possible i mucked the job up?! If u guys could tell me how u adjust your timing (i hope thats all it is!) it would be a great help!!

Many thanks in advance

Mark
