   my saxo vtr turbo has started everytime first time untill yesterday when i washed her.
   before washing her i started her and drove her up my drive to wash and after she doesnt start.
   
   I have a raised bonnet by around 5cm at the back so i belive when i washed her the water from the windowscreen from the hose may have gone under the bonnet.
   i have never had a problem before and has started first time everytime.
   i have checked all of the fuses and none of them have gone neither under dash or fuse box have gone
   the isnt any wet spots anywere under the bonnet that i can see.
   everytime i try start the car it just clicks and doesnt start, all of the apropriate lights light up on the dash and everything electrical works.
   i have checked the charge in the battery and its full 100%.
   i have tried to bump start her and use jump leads and neither works
   
   can someone please helpp?

   Is it the same kind of clicking you get when your battery is flat?

   You'l have to start checking the main Earth wires to the gearbox/engine, what works for me is to connect the black (earth) jump lead to the negative battery terminal, then place on a suitable earth on the engine/gearbox (anywhere clean and metal anfd try to start her, if she cranks and fires up then you have a faulty earth some where, give it a go

   do you think an earth could be the problem? and if it is how hard is it to fix?

   Earths are fairly simple to fix, sometimes they have just come loose. Good thing to do, is disconnect them, clean them up, and reconnect them. One of my earths once, the wire just came out of the ring connector, so stopped the earth working, plugged it back in and squeezed it tight and worked fine ever since
