Same deal as before, key, lights come on, primes, push button feck all happens.
Looks like I'll be swearing at my switchgear again later.
Martin, have a look at the starter relay. The points inside sometimes burn out, so the relay clicks when you press the starter button but it doesn't pass current to the starter motor. Carefully short across the terminals on the relay and make sure the starter motor spins. If it does and the relay clicks when you press the starter button then it's a dead relay. This is exactly what happened to mine while we were in Scotland a couple of weeks back. M&P/Busters have replacements for about 13 quid.
