   I tryed swapping it with the one off my old loom.
   
   And it still just kept clicking, and lights flashing on clocks.
   
   Presume this is a fuel relay? Can't see how i could of wire it wrong, as i haven't touched the fueling.
   
   Hellppppp want to hear her purrrrrrrrrr

   sounds like there isn't enough power to turn it over, sure battery is charged?
   
   Also positive all earths are ok and clean?

   Lights flashing on clocks could be a dodgy alternator or connections to it,have you tried jump starting it?

   Ill wire brush the earth's tomorrow, cant see it being alternator as the car should still turn over, but its not.
   
   battery on charge ill try that tomorrow with the earths, cant bump start it, as its on axle stands.
   
   cheers for fast replys!

    I would say not enough power or a bad earth, my 1.4 engine did this sometimes when i tried to turn it over, it missed the turning over and just buzzed.

    I wire brushed the earths, and realised I had 2 on the chassis instead of 2 on the gearbox.. Put my freshly charged battery in.. And fuel primed.. and it cranked.. didn't fire, but think the red button needs pressing.. but it was raining so i came in.
    
    I'll get it fired tomorrow, swapping dampers/springs in my warm room =]
