Have you tried jump starting it yet?

bump 

As said in reply66, starter works fine connecting solenoid terminals 12v live to solenoid activate, it cranks the engine, but ngine does not start.

Didn't answer the question.

Have you physically connected the battery on the car to the battery of a working car with jump leads for the express purpose of starting it?

That's the trouble with diagnosing stuff over tinterweb...

Especially when details are random and sporadic

ie:

A "my carpets all wet"
B "Is the scuttle drain blocked?"
A "I don't think so."
B "Have you checked?"
A "Where is it?"
B "Passenger side under the pollen filter housing"

Three days later...

A "Found it."
B "The scuttle drain? Was it blocked?"
A "No, the leak. I left the sunroof open when I washed the car..."

Ta, I'll double check that my unopened bottle is indeed 5.1.

Got to change the hoses on the Barge, and although the fluid on it is clear, it looks decidedly green so all in all, changing it makes sense

Tap the top of K1 with the key held at crank.

K1 is the sodding great red relay.

And report back

Did that, nothing happened.

Repeat with K3 as that feeds K1
