No ignition light and no start

[FlipFlopGriff]

Fuel pump seems to prime, car locks/unlocks, hazards and lights work as do window electrics. No indicators or wipers. No red or orange light when turn the key and obviously not starting. Any ideas.

When you mention not starting do you mean cranking but not firing or not cranking?

No lights no cranking, just dead.

Loss of supply to ignition switch?
Check main positive termination points at battery or starter and fusebox to ignition switch, if all ok check at ignition switch

Does your car have the inline 80A fuse in the birds nest in the footwell? That might have blown.

Got power to the ignition switch. 12v, then one white live on first turn and 2nd live on cranking. No power to coil, instrument lights works but nothing relating to the stalks (wipers, main beam, indicators) works. No heater fan either.
Got to get my case ready as off to Dubai very early in the morning so will have to have a look next weekend.

It does, but not a 100A (its a pre cat).

A incorrectly wired immobiliser could cause these failures or the loss of engine/body earth returns

Where is the earth on the engine and does this run back to the battery? the earth wire was changed about 3 years ago as there was little left of it so just want to check its still making a good connection.

I apologise for not replying sooner, I thought someone else would have replied to your above post, I don't know the cable runs for your car

There is an earth strap on the back of the near side head on a Pre-Cat.

I've got glow fuses and none of them are glowing but may have blown the circuit hence the issue.. Which fuse was it as its a pain taking them out one at a time?

Turns out it was the ignition relay on the fuse board, The one that was in wasn't that old so put the spare Siemens one back in and hey presto, Anyone know where I can get a decent replacement - the good one is Siemens V23134-352 D242 (also has R8F2 stamped on it).
Thanks.

Here's one in Germany

Is it anything "special" or just a relay with big terminals
