Isn't that a set of normal ignition lights? :confused:

Does it turn over but not start or do nothing at all? I'd guess earth connection. Try a jump lead from battery negative to the engine block
 
Check the space connector on the starter solenoid is clean and has 12v when the key is turned to the start position.
 
Mate had same problem, swore blind all cables/connections were good, I gave the loose bat poss terminal a waggle on the starter solenoid, told him to tighten it up, two full spanner turns later and it started straight up and its been fine ever since!
Thats what you get when you make your own fittings with a hammer
 
With people saying it's the earth it's starting to make more sense as mate tried to start it with his fully charged starter pack (snap-on) wants having any of it straight after use my other Mates car started straight up as it was using the earth of his car if that makes sense
 
if your battery is fully charge just put the negative jump lead from the earth on the battery to the engine block. That will give a direct earth to your starter. We had this exact problem on an lt35. it was a corroded earth strap that went from the body to the gearbox.
 
Had a look this morning and the earths on the gearbox weren't very tight tightens them up but the new battery back on, cleaned all the terminals and fingers cross it's starts up fine cheers for your help guys! :)
