Was going to give it a blast for the first time in a couple of months since I picked it up following the 12k service but it won't start. It lives on the accumate when stood so the battery is fine. Doors open and all electrics working. Immobiliser light goes out and fuel pump primes but turn it to start and nada, not even a solenoid click. Have checked fuses 39, 35, 29, 27, 26, 17 and 12, all OK.

Where to now ?

Oh and in all this, managed to lose a 30A fuse down the back of the pedal box, tried removing the panel but one of the hex head bolts is rounded, suggestions for the best way to get that out and what's the thread size so I can replace it ?

OK, looks like you've checked the obvious?

Guess you're now into looking at EARTHS (check battery to chassis and engine to chassis) and then using a multi-meter to check continuity from the Ign Switch to the starter motor. Also, check the starter motor relay No.43

Hope you track it down.
