Yeah mate it’s just not turning over at all. All it does is engage the thermo fan
Try bridging the starter relay.

Alright I’ll have a go at that now. So Just take the relay out and bridge with a paper clip or something of that sort and it should start you reckon?

Yeah or a piece of 6mm cable. Just touch it and see if it turns over or it won't stop if you jamb the ends right in.

Or swap it for another relay on the relay panel that you can test & know it works-like the horn relay.

Could be starter motor or ignition switch playing up. Or NSS if you have an auto.

Yeah I done it with the high beams which I know was working, but after I tried that and it did nothing I also tried just bridging it which also done the same thing....

it’s a manual. Yeah I suppose it could be something like that just pretty random, as I was already assuming there is some sort of short somewhere causing the car to run rough before it stopped all together

Would a starter motor on the way out cause the car to run bad on 2 cylinders haha? Or the ignition switch
