Omegatoy,

It's either I can't find these wires or I'm lost.
When you say looking from the battery down, which connectors am I to look for?
How do I paste pictures in this message?
I've disconnected what I think is the powersounder or siren,but the lights still stayed on and forgot to mention previously the fuel gauge was also on.
Please help me, as I desparately need this car on the road asap.

damn this is hard to explain!! ok leaning over the top of the battery and looking between the turret and the battery is where the bunch of connectors is , directly below the wires is the ABS unit, until you unclip the holders and look at the wires you cannot tell if it has been chaffing against the brake pipe? does that make sense?

Try following the wires thats coming out the side of the fuse box and passes over the oil filter cap and goes round the back of the engine to the bulk head.
You said in a previous post that a relay was clicking was it in the fuse box in the engine bay or the car.
Another thing to do is take the small wire off the top of the fuel pump(start-stop solinoid) and try to start the engine to rule out the start-stop solinoid.
look at the first photo between the green arrow and where the injector pipes connect to thats the start-stop solinoid

This one's realy weird it has to be a bad earth or a electrical component earthing out.
The only other thing that might be causing this that I can think of is the glow plugs or the wiring to them has shorted out

The clicking is coming from one of the 3 relays in the picture above ,i.e. the 2 green ones or the brown one.I tried removing the black one and connected the battery but it made no difference.

Guys,
I think I've found the fault. It's the ignition barrel!
I opened the 2 covers around the indicator/wiper stalks and pulled the electronic side of the ignition barrel and found it stuck in position3. The metal shaft that links the key to the ignition rotary switch is broken.
