Fuel pump running, spark at the plugs??

thanbks for reply it's a td5 so dont think plugs would be that much of an issue? will have to check fuel pump in the morning (still at work)

Ok a diesel, my crystal ball has a flat battery so had to guess, as your engine doesn't crank perhaps that also has insufficient power and unable to crank the engine. So nothing to do with a fuel pump.

thats what i thought but charged battery last night and charger was reading full charge this morning and same thing. someone else said may be starter but i would of at expected at least a click from it.

Check the small lucar connector on the starter solenoid to not be loosened, if no joy give a tug to the starter with something, also check the thick main feed on it, if still no joy swap relays R2(starter) with R3(headlamp wash) and check fusible link FL12... providing it's not immobilised, did you unlock normally with fob and unlocked OK?

Nope, if it's seized, what's to click? Before turfing it out make sure it's getting juice. Could be just a dodgy connection.
