Assuming it's cranking, are you getting a spark? Pull king lead from dizzy and hold near suitable earth point, get someone to turn it over . If sparking are dizzy leads in correct sequence. All ok pull injector and turn over to see if fueling OK. That's the first quick checks.

There's nothing mate, no spark or cranking nothing. Just relay 53 clicks, pump primes and that's it. :-(

Check the fusebox to cabin connectors are fully home first of all. Then check your starter wiring. It won't fire a spark or an injector unless the hall sender sees movement.

Orite andy, both fusebox plus are fully home, I remeber reading about that before. Also starter wiring, there's a 2 awg wire from my master switch inside the car and the 1 spade terminal. The other wires on there are the blue and red and are the alternator :-(
 Just lieing under the car now checking everything and all seems good :-(
