Just changed all the plugs, did it one by one so as not to cross over leads etc..
But now all I get is a click.....no ignition!
Almost seems like the immobiliser has kicked in?
So wots up....

...hit the starter motor (quite hard!!)and no joy,
...checked the battery terminals & earth (3times) - not a murmur
...rocked the car in 2/3rd (almost of its chasis) - still only a burr then a click AND THATS IT
..... its a lovely day TOO!!

SO where is the "inertia switch" I may as well check everything now... I ONLY CHANGED THE bd spark plugs..

Dead fed up now!!

....weh hay!! Jump started first time....went a few miles (30 ish ). Garaged her and tried a few successful start ups....
Must have been the starter motor sticking....spot on guys! and Cheers.
Will pop it into the local and have it serviced/fixed...unless it won't start again! My nieghbour (bless him) nearly had a cardiac and pierced eardrums all at once (dont think he's up for another go for some time!
as for me I'm now on AGAIN!
